The Sperry Topsider is the original deck shoe! Notable details and recommended models.

The original deck shoes were made by the American brand ” Sperry Top-Sider

The original deck shoes for sailors are known as “Sperry Top-Sider. The brand was founded in 1935 by Paul Sperry, a sailor born in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Paul Sperry, the founder of Sperry Top-Sider, became a sailor in his childhood because of the stories his grandfather often told him about sailing trips, and he developed a yearning for sailing. As Mr. Sperry continued his activities on board a ship, he realized that it was very slippery on a ship being rocked by waves, and there was a high possibility of injury or, in the worst case scenario, death. After much thought and consideration, he came up with the development of “deck shoes,” shoes that allow one to stand safely on a ship without slipping. This was the beginning of deck shoes and the beginning of “Super Topsiders. Today, deck shoes are available in a variety of designs and are loved around the world as fashionable shoes.

The brand was born from a dog running! Sperry Top-Sider invented deck shoes inspired by the structure of a dog’s foot

When Paul Sperry saw his dog running on ice without slipping, he noticed the distinctive grooves on the soles of the dog’s feet. Inspired by this, he made a cut with a knife in the rubber sole of his own sneaker and created an original sneaker that did not slip. He then adopted the same grooves in the deck shoes he was developing at the time, resulting in deck shoes that did not slip even on wet decks.
