This is a good looking sneaker. You can definitely dress up or down. The sizing is off though. I normally wear a 10 and have pretty wide feet. The 10.5 was way too big. Had to send back for the 9.5. Can't wait to rock them at the second line. Also great shipping, got them in 2 days.

Prossuper cute, fashion forward
ConsMedium width
Love this shoe but it runs at least a half size larger than normal 7.5 (eu38) shoes. This is not my first pair of Burberry shoes so I was shocked that they didn't fit perfectly. Exchanging them for a smaller size and hope they fit, they are awesome in person. They are medium to wider width, for sure not narrow. Super cute!

I am obsessed with the classic Burberry check print and I basically can't afford Burberry pieces but I decided to splurge on these as one of the cornerstones of my fall wardrobe this year. I am having an incredibly busy autumn at work and knew I would be running all over town (NYC) and wanted very comfy shoes that would still look sharp, go with business attire OR dress up/give an edge to jeans -- also I wanted to replace an old pair of stylish Adidas made of a brown and white plaid wool that I have worn into the ground -- basically I wanted another pair of stylish sneakers.
I was SO impatient for these to arrive and they took longer than usual for Nordie's -- everything else I ordered arrived days earlier, of course, Murphy's Law! When the box finally arrived I held my breath while unpacking. At first glance I can't say I was AS happy as I had thought I would be. The tan color of the leather at the toe was a little "flat" in real life and the leather didn't look as supple as I'd hoped. Overall the look was a little less expensive than I had hoped considering this was a pretty big splurge for me for a pair of sneaks. The other thing I noticed right away was that there isn't much of the red color in the print, at least on my pair. There is just a touch of red at the heel. So the overall appearance is a little more monochromatic and tan than I'd expected.
I am still like an 8-year-old when it comes to a new pair of sneaks so I had to change into them immediately and wear them the rest of the day. I wasn't wearing socks and I am really happy to say that they are incredibly comfortable -- I have continued to wear them with bare feet and they have not rubbed or chafed in one single spot or given me a hot spot or blister or anything. I would say they are exceptionally comfortable.
As far as sizing, I ordered the equivalent of my usual 9.5 and they are just fine on my wide foot. They do tend toward the long-looking and I asked a few people if they make my feet look like boats before I fully decided to keep them. I was reassured that they look normal though I still do think they have the tendency to make my feet look a little long. Nonetheless I am a statuesque build so I can carry off bigger looking feet (not that I want to, like any woman I would love to have tiny petite little feet but ya get what ya get I guess and I think tiny feet on larger ladies look odd anyway)!
Overall I am happy with the purchase and for the reasons I decided to splurge, I think they were worth the $$ I spent.
