Pretty good
i got this for my birthday and i love it the sole is really comfy a little heavy and makes me taller and there’s an issue but i think it’s just for my shoes where when i walk it folds and the leather makes my foot sore
really nice design and the colour is darker than navy not purple like in the video

Adequate
Nice trainers. Feels a bit low on the back of my heel, giving the sensation that they will slip off. Glad I got in the sale and didn't pay full price!
