Q5: Can Sperry shoes be worn in rainy weather?
Weather suitability varies by model. Some materials and constructions may tolerate light moisture better than others, but not all Sperry shoes are waterproof. Check the product specifications and avoid exposing unsuitable materials to prolonged wet conditions.
Q6: What is the difference between boat shoes and deck sneakers?

Check the care instructions for your particular style. Use an appropriate gentle cleaning method and allow the shoes to air-dry naturally. Avoid machine washing unless the product instructions explicitly permit it.
