Paul Sperry the founder of the Sperry brand began his development after watching his cocker spanie - Prince run across the ice on a winter's day in Connecticut. He was inspired by his dogs ability to maintain traction on the slippery surface. After turning over Prince's paw he saw hundreds of tiny cracks and cuts going in all directions. This observation became Paul Sperry's latest patent called Razor-Siping™ which became instrumental in maximizing the traction and performance of the Authentic Original Sperry Top-Sider first introduced in 1935. Sperry's have used this technology across all their classic shoes. Sperry Bahama 2 Eye which come in Navy and Grey are available at A Shop Called Wood including the classic Sperry Original Workboot Chukka
