I love the look of this shoe and unlike previous iterations of the Cat series it allows for a reasonable foot length. They're still a bit tight and the construction of the shoe isn't breathable so I wouldn't recommend wearing them for long walks or in the summer, but if you're walking around town or just need to look stylish then they will fit definitely. Do it! I just agree that they seem strange. It doesn't matter, this is the industry, but I would appreciate some extra effort to clean it from the previous owner :^)
