help choose pair of sperry ao

[tomio]

thanks went with the blue soles. I figured the brown ones were easier to find at a later point in time.

[RiveDroit]

Mix of both. One guy asked if I dyed the soles. Prob won't wear them around the office too often, but nice for weekend/leisure.

OP, check out Sebagos as well, the leather seems stiffer, so break-in period may be a little longer.

@RiveDroit - I hope the compliments were not "Oh, those are...interesting."

[RiveDroit]

I have the blue soled ones and I love em. I've worn them to work once with grey chinos and got plenty of double takes and compliments. No regrets.

I say go for it!

Those blue soles don't look too great with the brown imo. I like the brown and white soles for a first pair.

[tomio]

not the first pair of boat shoes, but will be my first brown pair. I like the blue ones but dont know if it will be too much

[nicholascrawford]

Go with the plain color if it's your first ____ (boat shoe). Go with the wild color if you already have a ____ (boat shoe) collection going. I apply this line of reasoning with virtually everything.
