These got my attention on IG and I had to have them. I knew I wanted them in brown. Glad I read the reviews about sizing down - I went down to an 8.5 from my very standard 9 and they are *perfect*. I was actually going to order an 8, but by the time I finally placed the order they had sold out, which was to my benefit! Opening the box, I got a whiff of yummy genuine leather. The leather is so soft, so supple and of great quality. The insoles are not super cushy, which I didn’t expect anyway, but, they are a bit more cushioned than I expected so I’m happy about that. The logo on the heel tab is super minimal, which I appreciate. Makes them feel a little dressier with the advantage of feeling like you’re wearing a sneaker. I will be able to wear these a lot interchangeably with casual looks, dressier looks and workwear alike. This is definitely the best purchase I’ve made recently. Another loved pair of shoes to add to my Adidas collection!
