Timeless shoe but not for me
Henry
These definitely lean more fashion-forward than athletic. They have a clean, elevated feel that works well for casual, everyday outfits and can dress up simple jeans or pants. That said, on my frame (6’2”), the thicker sole adds over an inch of height, which makes the overall look feel a bit heavier than I prefer. Width-wise they felt right, but they ran about 0.5–1 size too long. Otherwise, the shoe felt solid and supportive, though the added bulk and height were noticeable when walking.The design is classic and well-executed, but the solid gray color block didn’t quite work for me. It felt a little flat visually and didn’t have the contrast or versatility I was hoping for. The silhouette is bold, which will work for some styles, but it wasn’t an ideal match for mine. The leather and overall construction feel premium and durable, and the shoe has a quality feel you notice right away. I liked the premium materials and the clean, lifestyle-oriented approach, down to the metal tag on the shoe laces closest to the toe. I’d change the sizing consistency, reduce the sole height slightly, and introduce more variation or contrast in the color blocking to make the design feel lighter and more versatile.
