Sperry or Sperry Top-Sider is an American brand of boat shoe designed in 1935 by Paul A. Sperry, older brother of writer and illustrator Armstrong Sperry, whose books often featured a sailing theme.  Sperrys, or Top-Siders, were the first boat shoes introduced into the boating and footwear markets. Today the Sperry brand is owned by Wolverine World Wide and is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts.

While sailing on the Long Island Sound, inventor and sailor Paul A. Sperry slipped on the deck of his boat and fell overboard. He was able to pull himself back on board, but the experience drove him to develop a non-slip shoe for boating.  While experimenting, he noticed his cocker spaniel's ability to run down an icy hill without slipping.  Examining its paws, he noticed traction-enhancing grooves - which he sought to mimic by cutting a pattern of them into a natural rubber sole utilizing a process known as siping.

The Sperry "Top-Sider" boat shoe that was introduced in 1935 featured a canvas upper, herringbone siping, and a white outsole to prevent the shoe from leaving dark scuff marks on a boat's deck. The Commonwealth Shoe and Leather Co. later partnered with Sperry on a design using specially tanned water-resistant leather, which became the familiar Sperry "boat shoe".

Sperry's shoes remained a niche product for boaters until 1939 when the U.S. Navy negotiated the right to manufacture the shoe for its sailors at the United States Naval Academy.  As a result of this increased production, Sperry sold the brand to the U.S. Rubber Co. in 1940.  In 1979 the Stride Rite Corporation purchased both Sperry and Keds (shoes) from U.S. Rubber.  In 2007 Payless ShoeSource acquired Sperry Top-Sider as part of a multi-brand acquisition. The company was purchased, along with the other brands from the Collective Brands Performance and Lifestyle Group portfolio, in 2012 by Wolverine World Wide and Blum Capital Partners for US$1.23 billion.

In 2009 Footwear News named Sperry Top-Sider the Brand of the Year.

In early 2015 Sperry announced that the brand had dropped the defining trait "Top-Sider" name from the company as part of the footwear company's new brand campaign.  By the end of 2015 Sperry had opened 68 specialty and outlet stores in malls across the United States.
