Traditional detailing makes an easy favorite of a kid-size boat shoe that's topped with premium materials and hand-stitched to provide the signature comfort of a Sperry icon. Rawhide laces wrap the heel and tie at the bridge for a custom fit, while a signature wave-siped tread provides confident footing on wet and dry surfaces.
360° Lacing System wraps behind the heel for a classic look and an adjustable, secure fit
Razor-Cut Wave-Siping™ in the tread provides superior traction on wet and dry surfaces
Removable insole
Leather upper/leather or textile lining/rubber sole

Need help finding the perfect gift? We've got you covered.
Inspiring the world to raise their sails and live life fully since 1935, Sperry offers a diverse range of styles including boat shoes, sneakers, loafers, boots and more for women, men and kids.
We have bought our share of Sperry top siders! With a husband who prefers them for his daily choice, it's a no brainer to buy these for our 4 boys. They meet our uniform requirement and my boys love them! Plus, you can't beat the slip on/permanently tied laces in the smaller sizes. These will last as long as they can fit in them and then some! I never worry about the quality. We'll continue to purchase these from Nordstrom!

Cute but did not work for my toddler
I love this shoe but it is not a great shoe for walkers. The shoe kept falling off of my son's feet and it was just not ideal. The shoe is also very narrow. This shoe may be better for older children and not toddlers.

Great shoe!
My toddler wears these all the time so comfy and easy to slip on. I do think they are a little narrow since toddlers tend to have chubby flat feet so I sized up half a size for him.

Perfect
My grandson is a tough customer when it comes to shoes, as a lot of kids are. These shoes did great for him. Comfy, string stayed tied, and softer sole and top leather. We needed for dressy casual and they worked great. If you have a picky young person, this may work for you.

Great shoe
These shoes are great and are made well. Purchased many times though out the years. They do run narrow so they don't fit my 6 year old well who has a wide foot.

A must have staple
These Sperry's never disappoint! With the ties already pre tied -- boys can especially not worry about laces always coming undone. My son wears them both for formal and casual occasions and each pair usually lasts him a full year. He actually prefers to wear them over tennis shoes.

Great kids shoe
These shoes are extremely comfortable, and look very attractive on the feet. My son loves the comfort and ease of slipping them on and off. The leather is soft and holds up over time. This is my son's 3rd pair of Sperry's and we absolutely love them.

adorable but small
Bought daddy & son 'matching' ones for Father's Day... Totally adorable, but definitely run small. My son is just over a year and wears a 4.5 in other shoes, but even the 5 in these were small. Gonna size up to a 5.5 and hope they stretch since they're leather. Too cute, worth the effort to find a good fit!

Awesome Possum
The sperry boat shoes are very stylish, and they are made from leather so therefore they are very easy to clean, and they are more durable than any of my other canvas shoe. The only downside about these shoes is that the in-sole isnt very comfortable, and if you have a high arch in your feet than they will cause you some discomfort., so i recommend that you get some in-soles and substitute them with the ones that come with the shoes, they also run really big, so you usually wanna get a half size smaller. Enjoy your new sperrys!
