In photos, these shoes look casual and urban, with dark leather and a distressed midsole, making them look like they could be worn with cozy jeans and a t-shirt. too smart. The leather and midsole looked a bit polished. This skin was a darker shade of blue than I expected. So when I wore them with jeans, the shoes looked out of place. They were too good for the rest of my outfit. It can be all my fault: maybe I should dress a little more. I think these shoes would go well with a good pair of khakis or less casual jeans, but they don't work for me. They are ok but not exactly the style I expected from the photos. As for size, my favorite size is men's 10.5. I've seen some people say they run a little big. So I went for the men's 10 instead, and they fit perfectly. So if you're between sizes, it's probably best to order a size small.
