"I've worn the Intrepid style before and was pleased with the comfort level, especially walking all around Southeast Asia. I've never had a problem with the initial fit of all of my Sperry Top-Siders. This time, however, the fit was different. The heel of my foot kept slipping out of the shoe even after tightening the laces. After a few weeks of short walks, my heels don't slip out as much. Overall, it was still worth the buy."
