Sneakers aus Wildleder, DANI taupe LAUREN RALPH LAUREN

The sizing seems to be completely off across this whole range of trainers. I ordered my usual size 6, but they arrived approximately two sizes too big. When I compared them directly with my previous size 6 pair, the new pair had around 3cm of extra space in front of my toes. I then tried a 5.5, which was still far too long, followed by a size 5. While the size 5 was closer in length, it was tight across the front yet strangely loose at the back.

With this pair, the size 6 was far too long. The 5.5 had a good sole width but was still too long at the front, while the size 5 was better in length but the sole was too narrow.

The material and design itself is very nice, which makes it even more disappointing. After trying several sizes across different styles, there seems to be a genuine issue with the sizing and proportions of the current range.

I’ve only m worn mine once outdoors in London but the white bit is all grey now and I tried using a wet wipe to clean but the texture changed and now it just looks awful. I think the shoes are great as long as you don’t wear them outdoors.
