Story & heritage
Alongside the boat shoe, Sperry’s CVO line traces back to Paul Sperry’s 1935 Circular Vamp Oxford. The current Reissue is positioned by the brand as a faithful recreation of that canvas deck sneaker.
Materials & craft
Some shoes follow trends. This one started them. The CVO Reissue Lace-Up is a faithful recreation of Paul Sperry's iconic Circular Vamp Oxford — originally designed in the 1935s and still turning heads today. Built on a canvas upper with a memory foam lining, it's the kind of shoe you slip on in the morning and forget you're wearing by noon. The signature Wave-Siping™ outsole delivers the same trusted traction as the original, while the lightweight construction keeps things effortless from morning to night. Material: Canvas upper — lightweight, breathable, built to break in beautifully Lining: Memory foam — cushioned comfort from the first step Sole: Wave-Siping™ rubber outsole — non-marking, grip-enhanced traction Low-top, round toe, flat heel — clean silhouette, effortless styling Classic looks. Modern comfort. All day.
Official specs for CVO Sneaker Reissue call out Wave-Siping™ outsole, canvas upper.
How to choose & style
Use the low canvas-sneaker profile where a deck shoe would feel too preppy: straight denim, chinos, camp shirts, summer knits, or cuffed fatigue pants.
