Comfortable, lightweight, natural materials
I would consider these to be more like a loafer or house-shoe style footwear than a sneaker but they are comfortable. I have run in them a few times and they are comfortabe but if someone does requires ankle support, these would not be the right choice. The laces are more cosmetic but if you are walking or wearing them in a casual manner, that should not be a problem as long as you order the correct size.<br />Speaking of size, they are handmade and are true to actual measurements so if comparing the size to a brand name such as Nike, Reebok, or New Balance, the size number listed on the major brand’s label would not have the same fitment.<br />These are wool which means the feel is more elastic than mesh or leather and is also breathable. Be sure to order for your actual foot size. If on the fence about the size (if you are in between sizes), consider either ordering a half size down or be prepared to wear thicker socks. Consider where you plan on wearing them and the time of year you intend on wearing them since thick socks in warmer temperatures could make your feet warm and sweaty. I would order these again.<br />I ordered mine with an intended outdoor wear and upgraded the sole with the rubber option. These are constructed well and should last a while.<br />The shoes were hand made and made and shipped in a timely manner.
