Background: spent a few weeks looking for Sperry top siders. Originally bought an authentic original (a/o) size 7.5 for ~$130 it was too big I'm an actual size 7.5US. Did some research and found out gold cups were higher quality and more comfy. Amazon.com (US) sells them for a wide range of prices. I bought my gold cups for $84 USD which is ~$112 CAD after tax and with free shipping. Such a steal. Sperry Canada has same ones at $200 CAD before tax.

Fit:
7.5M US a/o when walking with these on, my heels would slip out. I wear 7.5 US Lacoste shoes and am a 7.5US measured on the foot scale. Returned them
For the 7M US a/o gold cups they fit snug. You can adjust the laces for tightness which is great. And the quality is there. When I put my foot in them initially it feels like astounding. Very supple and smooth. Feels great man.
Now the bad part: for the gold a/o I have flat feet, so the smaller sizes are narrow for me. My joints at my pinky toe and big toe rub against the shoe and hurts after extended wear. Partially it's because of the break in period and my flat feet. Would liked to have a wide format.
Also, the shoes are varied. You might get a lemon, I had problems with the stitching on my first gold a/o had to return them as it was poking my foot with every step. Bought a second one and it's better.
Amazon does not ship to Canada. I purchased mine and shipped it to a parcel pickup place across the border and picked it up there. Maybe you got a friend who can grab it for you and ship it to your house.
Hope this helped, and good luck!
