How does the CVO 2.0 fit compared with other Sperry shoes?

It follows the low-profile oxford shape and runs narrow for some wearers. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, consider going up half a size.

Is it good for long walks?

It works for errands and light walking. The insole is thin and arch support is limited, so it is not the best pick for all-day standing or long hikes.

Can I wear it without socks?

Yes. The cotton lining is soft against bare feet, but the shoe has no moisture-wicking liner, so it can get clammy in heat.

How does it differ from Sperry's boat shoes?

It is a lace-up low-top sneaker with a cotton upper rather than leather, so it is lighter and more casual. It keeps the same Wave-Siping outsole for wet grip.

How do I clean the cotton upper?

Spot clean with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, which can distort the shape and outsole.

What is the CVO 2.0 based on?

It is modeled on Paul Sperry's 1970s Circular Vamp Oxford, with the same round-toe shape updated with a cushioned insole.

Our take on the Sperry CVO 2.0 Women's Shoes

The Sperry CVO 2.0 is a low-top lace-up sneaker based on Paul Sperry's 1970s Circular Vamp Oxford. It has a cotton upper and lining, a cushioned insole, and a flexible rubber outsole with Wave-Siping for grip on wet and dry ground. It suits women who want a clean, retro canvas sneaker for casual wear. Against plain canvas sneakers it adds the boat-shoe outsole; against Sperry's own boat shoes it is lighter and more everyday. Owners like the look and the easy break-in, but some find the fit narrow and the insole thin for long days.
