"I absolutely adore the way my Sperry's looked when I first purchased them a couple months ago, but they are already falling apart. I got them wet once, and the design on the side of one shoe is a mess and won't come clean no matter what I try. The leather part of the shoe also stained badly even though I put a protector on it. On top of that, I noticed today that the shoe is coming apart at the seems near the right toe! With very minimal wear, a "boat shoe" should not be having these issues."
