Sperry Topsider – Deck Shoe Inspired Shoes and Boots for Winter 2011

Sperry Topsider has been a top deck shoe brand for many years now after being first designed by Paul Sperry back in 1935. His major input was to add ‘sipping’ to the bottom of the rubber sole of the shoe which allowed the wearer to stick or grip to the deck that bit better when it was wet. Deck shoes have since become a major part of the fashion world, and Sperry Topsider now has a fashion arm to their brand that provides deck shoes, chukka boots, boots and bahama soles on a seasonal basis for men around the world. For the autumn winter 2011 season there are some amazing styles available for the wet weather that will suit the smart casual style perfectly. Read on if smart casual fashion is your thing!

Sperry Topsider have taken the deck shoe sole for the winter season and built other footwear styles around them. It may sound a little strange but their amazing Shipyard Rigger boot is a Sperry rubber sole, leather upper with deck shoe styling and then upwards into a classic boot with full lace front and canvas panels. Similarly the Chukka Wool boot is exactly that. Rubber sole unit, leather deck shoe upper with a single wool panel that gives the shoe height and shape and moulds it into a chukka boot. What more do you need for winter than Sperry Topsider quality and autumn winter fashion? The boots weight next to nothing given the lightweight materials used and follow in the footsteps of their classic summer deck shoe in feeling like you’re not actually wearing anything like a pair of boots on your feet.

Prices for the shoes and boots vary, and with the weight and style of these boots you could easily wear them pretty much all year round, especially with the British weather the way it is. So why not pick yourself up a pair of the superb wool chukka boots or rigger boots today and enjoy showing off the mix of deck shoe and winter trend among your mates. American footwear brand Sperry is available at some of the best high street and online retailers in the UK and Europe.
