Great looking and high quality sneakers
Overall: Very nice looking and well crafted shoes. They come with a dust bag for each, extra (non-waxed) laces, and set of thin insoles that can be added to improve a loose fit and add extra padding underfoot.
Fit: The fit is slightly large is length. My natual size is 13.5D and I got them in 13 which were just long enough. They were a little bit narrow across the toe box, but that broke in with a half dozen or so wears and a couple sessions with a shoe stretcher. Compared to the Reid and Garcia sneakers, these have a higher volume last and were more comfortable out of the box, but still took a half dozen wears or so to break in the uppers before they were completely comfortable.
Looks: Absolutely flawless construction. The stitching and build are great. One item of note is the color. I got them in gray and they are definitley a bit more blue than the website shows, I'd call them more of a slate blue. Other reviews seem to show the same thing. The laces that came on them are waxed and have a warm grey color which is a contrast to the blue-grey seude (which I think looks fantastic).
Comfort/Support: The outsoles and midsoles are on the thin side. The GAT style cupsoles on these are definitely thinner than the ones on the Reids, which have more cushion to them. However the insoles are excellent and somewhat make up for the thin outsoles. The insoles are leather topped and are much nicer than you see in many shoes. The foam is thick and has zones for arch support and heel…
