adequate black-&-white, ordinary (unimpressive;) sneakers
the listing claims that both the uppers and sole of these shoes are 100% leather. as far as the outer sole goes, it's quite obviously not leather. i also have my doubts about the inner sole, and the uppers as well. leather sneakers generally aren't constructed from numerous (stitched together) pieces, as these are. the shoes are also fairly light, and large shoes made of all leathers aren't typically this light. but i'm not expert, so i can't say anything with certainty.also, the look is a bit overly shiny (for what they are).putting all that aside, at 76$ otd, i consider these oddly (i.e., not justifiably) pricey, for what they are.the craftsmanship, construction, stitching and materials all appear to be of adequate (i.e., not great) quality.and i imagine these not holding up for a long time.would i purchase these at that otd price? no.would i purchase these at the approximately 15$ amount they'll cost me? (via vine review program.) possibly, and possibly not.to me, they look like a basic, bargain bin, twenty buck pair of black-&-white sneakers.will i wear these and use these casual shoes/sneakers, now that i have them? sure.they're comfortable enough.the sizes available were limited, so rather than my usual practice of going up by one full size, i had to go up by one-and-a-half sizes. as a result, these are way too big for me. it will takes between two and three pairs of thick socks, for me to be able to wear these at all. but ok, i can do that.they're fine for walking and working out --anything you would do in regular, ordinary sneakers.
