    Stunning Looks, Disappointing Comfort.

    EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING

    I read the reviews, tried these in-store several times, walking around to get a feel for them. Three months later, I finally bought my very first pair. I saved hard for these, so this was not a decision made lightly.

    The petrol colour is stunning, as is the detailing. In-store, they felt cushioned and light. However, after just 3 hours of wear, involving mostly sitting and only around 20 minutes of walking, I couldn't wait to get them off!

    Walking in these feels like wearing heavy platform sneakers. They're incredibly heavy on the feet, particularly on pavement and roads. They felt completely different outdoors compared with trying them in-store.

    I developed painful blisters around my arches and corns on my toes. Size 39 is my normal shoe size, while size 40 was too big. The sales staff recommended sticking with my usual size, so I went with a 39.

    Worst of all, these $189 sneakers SQUEAK WITH EVERY STEP!

    An absolute waste of hard-earned money. ABSOLUTELY GUTTED. I do not recommend them.

    We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be sure to pass your feedback on to our team. We'd love the opportunity to look into this further, so please don't hesitate to get in touch with our customer care team or pop into your nearest store, where our team would be more than happy to assist.

    Kindest,
