Sperry is the original American brand of boat shoe designed in 1935 by Paul A. Sperry. The design for this iconic shoe sprang from a minor boating accident that happened to Paul A. Sperry. While he was sailing on the Long Island Sound, Sperry had slipped off of the deck of his boat and fell overboard. This experience led Sperry to want to invent a shoe that would decrease the possibilities of slipping while on a boat. While Sperry was experimenting around with possibilities for non-slip shoes, he happened to notice that his dogs ability to run down slippery surfaces without slipping or falling down. Perry then began to study the nature of his dogs paws and how he could recreate the same structure into a shoe. The grooves on the paws of his cocker spaniel, Prince, inspired him to try cutting grooved patterns into a natural rubber sole. The pattern of grooves or cracks on his dog's paws gave him the idea for a canvas upper-shoe with a herringbone pattern of grooves on the sole. Then, the boat shoe was created and has since become an iconic piece of fashion for women and men of all ages and fashion backgrounds. Here are some ways to keep your Sperrys in tip-top shape all year long: -Shine the leather with a water-based cream shoe polish on a regular basis to prevent wear and tear of the genuine leather.
