We live in an era that so commonly desires more for less: More information in less text, more food for less money and more recognition for less effort. Since 1935, we have been blessed with a company which provides people with such a variety of clothing that allows us to walk the line between looking like we tried to look nice, while still not actually giving a crap. There are many reasons why we love Sperry Top-Siders, but here are just a few:

1. The main reason these shoes have gained such popularity amongst young adults is the versatile usage. I mean, you never know when you’re going to go boating, right?
2. Never before in history has a pair of footwear come along that so easily blurred the lines between dressing formally and not actually doing anything.
3. The smell that accumulates inside a pair of Sperry’s is an aphrodisiac to women everywhere.  From not wearing socks, wearing them to literally every occasion, and of course spilling Natty light and dip spit on them, the smell is quite potent and loveable.
4. Your dad is always proud when he sees his son dressing in his old clothes, especially wearing the exact same shoes he did when he was in college.
5. The multitude of colors they come in offer such varying impressions and can fulfill so many different scenarios: From formal presentations to raging face, you’ll always have the right color palette to give off the right idea.
6. When winter rolls around and you’re still not ready to put socks on, there’s always the fleece-lined style that will enable you to hold on to that feeling of summer time boating.

But seriously, you never know when you’re going to go boating.
