28.01.2026I wouldn’t buy this product again.
During my second day whilst doing the shoelaces the leather section ripped. Not the sort of thing I expect for this price point.
What do you think about that?

I tried these shoes on in a shop and like them however it seemed like they size quite small so I am best suited to the EU 44 however here there is 3 sizes so each UK size and I am unsure if the Size 10 or the 9 and a 1/2 + is a EU 44. Thanks
Hi Ben,
a EU 44 corresponds to a UK 9.5.
Kind regards,
Marco
