Sperry TopSiders: Casual And Easy Shoes
[info]goldome77
Sperry Top Siders is a type of deck shoe invented by Paul Sperry in 1935. Sperry wanted a boat shoe which would not skid on the damp decks of his ship. He finished a shoe possessing a white bottom that had grooves cut into it, allowing the sole to adhere better to moist surfaces. The shoe had been in style among boating enthusiasts who loved the fact that the white sole didn't leave any dark slip marks on the decks of their boats.

In 1939, the little deck shoe took off in fame as soon as Sperry entered into a contract with the US Navy to offer every one of its sailors with footwear. Sperry Topsiders on Sale Everywhere.
