I fell in love with the authentic sneaker in the carnelian/white stripe. So cute. After reading the reviews, I wasn't quite sure whether to purchase my regular size or go down half a size. My regular size - 7.5 was perfect. Comfortable from the first time wearing. I did wear some moleskin on the back of my heel just in case. I'm trying to decide if I want it in the gray stripe. I have worn it with skirts, dresses, linen pants, and levis.
These shoes are really cute. I have a narrow foot so I needed to cinch the laces up really tight, they were still on the wider sized. I was also worried about the quality. I wished there had been some padding. Not a shoe for just walking in, they are more of a fashion statement. I returned them.
Love these! Classic, comfy, stylish, they go with anything. Little on the big side but just get 1/2 size down. Soft canvas material and made well. You can’t go wrong with these! Worth the price.
