| Pros |
- Remarkably lightweight
- Wide toe box for foot freedom
- Very comfortable fit
- Elastic no-tie laces (easy on/off)
- Minimalist barefoot design with flexibility
|
- The leather quality on these is genuinely impressive for the price. Feels like a $300+ sneaker at half the cost.
- Most comfortable leather sneaker I've worn. The cushioning rivals my running shoes but looks 10x better.
- Clean enough for the office, comfortable enough for all-day walking. Finally one shoe that does both.
|
| Cons |
- Divisive style (some perceive as childlike)
- Only available in full sizes, no half sizes
- Heel intentionally not flexible
- Requires wearing socks
|
- The white leather shows scuffs easily. You'll need a leather cleaner within the first month.
- Runs slightly large — had to exchange for a half size down. Their sizing guide wasn't accurate for me.
