Is the Sperry Newbury Zipper Boot good for rain?

No. The suede upper absorbs water and the front zipper is not sealed, so it handles damp sidewalks but not puddles or steady rain. Treat the suede before wearing it in wet weather.

It is a women's ankle boot with a round toe and flat heel. Sperry boots generally run true to size, but suede can feel snug at first and loosen with wear.

Does the zipper go all the way down?

The front zipper runs the length of the shaft, so the boot opens wide for stepping in. The flocked lining sits behind it for warmth.

How does it compare with a Chelsea boot?

The Newbury has a front zip instead of side elastic, a suede upper and a molded rubber sole with Wave-Siping traction. That makes it more casual and better on slick ground than a leather Chelsea boot, but less water-resistant.

Can I wear it all day?

The flat heel and cushioned footbed suit errands and commutes. If you need arch support, add an insole, since the flat sole is thin underfoot.

It is Sperry's molded rubber outsole pattern with angled grooves that push water aside for grip on wet surfaces. It is the same idea used on the brand's boat shoes.

About the Sperry Newbury Zipper Boot

The Sperry Newbury is a flat ankle boot in suede with a full front zipper, a round toe and a molded Wave-Siping rubber sole. It borrows Sperry's boat-shoe grip for wet pavement and pairs it with a flocked lining for warmth. It suits women who want an easy pull-on boot for fall and winter errands rather than a dress boot. Against leather Chelsea boots it trades polish for casual suede and a sportier sole; against rain boots it is lighter and less waterproof.
