Side Zip Sneaker

These sneakers were more expensive than I would normally spend but I decided to splurge and I have zero regrets. I love them. I replaced the manufacturer inserts with my own extra cushioning inserts which made a huge difference comfort wise. I’ve only had them for a few months and wear them frequently. They’ve become my go-to shoes. I’ve even worn them on travel days when I’ve got to trek thru airports. So far they’ve been easy to clean. The leather is stiff and the shoes felt snug right out of the box but over the past few months it has softened some. I’m hoping it’ll continue to soften with further wear. I generally wear 8.5-9 (38-39 in euro sizing) but in sneakers/athletic shoes I wear 9.5-10. I bought these in 40/10 and they work for me even with the snugness of the leather. I wear thinner no-show socks with these sneakers.
