Is the Sperry Slim Boat Mule true to size?

It runs close to standard Sperry sizing but on the narrow side. Buyers with wider feet often go up a half size.

Can I wear it without socks?

Yes. The leather insole and cotton lining are made for bare feet, though the leather can feel stiff at first.

The upper is listed as waterproof, but the backless design and stitching mean it is better for damp decks than standing water.

Same moccasin look and rubber sole, but the mule has no heel counter, so it slips on faster and offers less support.

Boat shoes usually drop in late summer and around end-of-season sales. The current best new price is $72.00 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026.
