1. sperry

   Sperry is a brand name associated primarily with boat shoes and nautical style footwear and apparel, originally created by Paul A. Sperry in 1935. The Sperry Top-Sider, the company's most iconic shoe, was inspired by the traction of a dog's paw on ice or wet surfaces. Additionally, "Sperry" was the co-inventor of the gyrocompass, a navigational instrument used in aviation and marine transportation, but this is less commonly referenced.
