Awesome and authentic 1970s vintage Sperry Top Sider boat shoes in a hard to find size 13!
• genuine leather upper in a unique taupe with touch of olive green color
• compressed ivory rubber sole and heel featureing the herringbone siping the label is known for
• risen moccasin style topstitching around the toebox
• leather insole with a bit of cushion
• braided beige laces, likely original
• some wear, scuffing and discoloration to the sole. One nick on the edge of the sole and one at the back of the heel. near the nick on the back of the heel is a rouge leather hole punch near the seam...not an issue, honestly its kind of cool. I tried to show all of the issues in the last photo...these look amazing on and are sure to get an appreciative nod from your fellow fashionable yachters in the know.

All footwear has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out. See below for details on this process.
I ship orders quickly, safely, and use packaging considerate of the environment. Boxes are recyclable, tissue paper is biodegradable, bubble wrap is reusable, ribbon, stickers or other doodads are vintage or deadstock.

• every pair of shoes sold from KCO have been cleaned inside and out using various methods best suited for the specific materials. Cleaning methods include: thoroughly wiping the insides with an antibacterial cloth, scrubbing the exterior sole and edges with a brush using mild hypoallergenic detergent, wiping down of the uppers to remove any dirt, dust, or marks, then polishing the uppers with color coordinating leather or artificial leather shoe care products. It’s important to me your order arrives in clean, beautiful, ready-to-wear condition!
• all shoes are pre-owned, pre-worn vintage unless state otherwise. I did not design or contribute to the manufacturing process nor do I know if the materials used will last over time or with wear. I do my best to inspect and test each pair for a strong bond and general structural integrity but unforeseen issues are a possibility once worn. The bonding that holds the uppers and sole together may separate, the sole or heel material may degrade, and non-genuine leather uppers may peel or crack. KCO does not accept returns or issue refunds for shoes that experience damage after any amount of wear. Sole separation is an easy DIY fix using inexpensive easy to acquire products found online. I’m happy to share the repair tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years so please reach out if you could use some help.
