"I bought these while on a trip to Florida last year, but I got them at the Sperry Outlet down there. These are my first pair. I've always seen people wearing them and saying how comfortable they are, so when I saw them in the store, I went ahead and got them! They are so comfortable and this pattern goes with just about everything! The only thing is the plaid is really light, so it gets dirty easily if you wear them often. Other than that, I love Sperry's, and will be buying some for my baby girl when she's old enough!"
