I have a pretty normal width foot, maybe on the skinny side and these fit pretty tightly. They are uncomfortable when I first put them on and it takes the shoes about 1-2 hours of wearing to loosen up nearly everytime, though admittedly never discomfort to the point of blisters. They squeaked constantly until I doused them with baby powder and brushed them off. This is my only white leather sneaker so it's hard to compare outer leathers, but I'll say the interior lining feels very thin and almost like plastic. I have 5 brands of leather sneakers from around this price point (BS, AE, Thursdays, Taft, Greats), and these are my least comfortable and feel the cheapest. Wait for a Beckett Siminon sale <100 or hop up to Thursdays for $130. If you really want these, though, I would recommend ordering your typical sneaker size (not your standard leather sneaker size which is closer to that of dress shoes).

I bought the blanco color of these from last drop (for $100). On their official website, the shoes go for $179 (last time I checked, anyway) - so I'll be comparing this to another pair of shoes I have - Greats Royale (also $179). Comfort: I am judging this shoe from a $179 perspective. If I'm paying nearly $200 for a shoe, I expect the shoes to be very comfortable. This shoe requires some breaking into and so far, I've worn it for 2 weeks and it has been less comfortable than both my Greats Royale and Stan Smith. My feet are normal width and they had some trouble fitting into this shoe due to how 'narrow' the shoe was. For a $50 shoe, I may have given it a 7/10 or so but if I'm paying $200, I'm going to giving comfort a 3/10 - it's just that my expectation is much higher for this price. The reason for the low score is because the shoe is very tight around my foot and I am unable to make it any looser due to the laces being exactly the length the shoe was delivered to me as. Therefore, any loosening would require me to get new laces. Again, not something I would expect from an almost-200 dollar shoe. In comparison Greats laces are very long and even if I completely lace the shoes up, I can loosen/tighten the shoe to my desire. My wearing-style is more or less casual work-style: decent amount of walking, a lot of standing/sitting. Even though there is very little 'active' (aka running/heavy lifting) in my day, my feet are usually relieved whenever I take these shoes off. Aesthetics: If this is the look you're going for - then I would highly recommend. This shoe looks very different my Greats Royale and has a very simplistic look to it. Unlike Stan Smith, the brand is barely visible and this is truly all-white. They have a very clean look to them. I would give the aesthetics a 8/10 Material Quality: The leather is good but not great. Compared to my Greats, the leather quality feels cheaper and like most types of leather, prone to easy creases. The rubber soles feel on-par, if not better than the Greats. They have a great grip, retain their white color well, and seem well stitched to the shoe. Again, if this was a $50 shoe, I may have given a 8/10 but for $200, I will have to settle with a 5/10. Edit: Material - 3/10 (reason down below) Overall rating: 5.3/10 - Edit: updated 4.6/10 (Reason down below) While I would not buy these shoes at $179 on their official site (or the $300 they say is the original price) but if you were waiting for a pair of above-average quality of white, leather shoes - $100 may be a reasonable price for some. Ultimately, I bought my Greats because I wanted a long-lasting pair of white shoes that were both comfortable and fashionable. If that's your reason, I would probably these are not worth. However, being that they are $110 on DROP right now, if you'd like a fashionable leather shoe with good (but not great) quality and you're willing to break the shoe in, these might not be a bad idea. Since I've only worn these for two weeks, my comfort rating may be revised as I continue to break into these pair of shoes. I'll keep this review updated with my thoughts. (But then again, I still feel like paying a premium price for shoes, they should be at least somewhat comfortable from day 1) edit - I forgot to add this:as Mlodyemkotq pointed out, since the shoe is completely made from leather, there is leather on top of leather - and the type of leather this shoe is made of, makes a very loud squeaking sound I'll be updating material from 5/10 to 3/10 (1 point deduction because it makes sound and 1 point because the sound is pretty loud) - just not something I'd expect from a $300 shoe. Again, if this was a $50 shoe, I may have given it a 6/10 or so

JedoWayI'm not trying to be "that guy", but high fashion shoes are expensive (Common Projects go up to ~$550 for low tops) and are certainly not comfortable. If you're primarily wearing jeans/pants, I recommend getting an all leather mid-top instead (which are ridiculously comfortable, although will run you $180-$500 for high fashion brands).

JedoWayThanks for a generally useful review, but I don’t think it’s fair to consider tightness/narrowness a flaw. Different shoes fit differently; these may be perfect for someone with a narrower foot. Perhaps you needed to size up.
