Best forFinally: a sneaker that's polished and grown-up without being fussy—the shoe you grab when you want to look put-together.
Standouts
    • 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.
    Watch-outsNone we flagged
    • 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.
