Are Sperry shoes true to size? There is no simple answer as it depends on which brands you normally wear.
The safest way to know your Sperry shoe size is to measure your foot before shopping. It is much simpler than it may seem (see our 3-step guide). Then, check what size corresponds to your foot length in the table below.

Sperry vs. Vans, Keds, Nike shoe sizes
Compared to other popular sneaker brands like Vans, Keds, and Nike, Sperry appears to run 1-2 US sizes larger in men’s sizing scheme. So, it is highly recommended to measure your feet precisely and check your corresponding Sperry size in the chart above.
This discrepancy could be due to the fact that Sperry started off as a boat shoe manufacturer.

Wide widths in Sperry shoes
Along with the regular Medium (M) width, Sperry also makes some of its trainers in Slim (S), Wide (W), and Extra Wide (XW) variants.
How Sperry shoes fit
According to the brand, your pair of Sperry trainers must fit like a glove from the very first try-on. Especially if you are purchasing shoes with synthetic uppers. They do not stretch over time.
If it is leather Sperrys that you’re after, then you can expect a slight upper stretching. However, this stretching affects the shoe’s width, not length.
If you have a well-fitting pair from another brand, you can compare its size with Sperry using the tool below:
