Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Other

I wanted something I could slide on and wear to the store, gym, and the office on days when I only go in to pirate stuff.

How I sized

Foot Tracing

They either let you size based on your gut or they would let you send in tracings. At the same time I was buying these, I had another brand ask me for measurements to determine sizing so I sent in tracings. And holy poop their sizing based on my tracings were off. I couldn't fit my foot in the shoe. I couldn't fit my **tracings** in the shoe. I then asked them for a full size up. They obliged by sending me a half size up. Weirdly these fit perfectly

Order Delayed

Awful. Bought via online store. Sent in tracings. They sent out the first pair in two days. After the first pair didn't fit, I emailed the CS email asking for advice. They asked me to send a barefoot pic of me standing on the shoe--with an example. The example was absolutely disgusting--dude needs a pedicure. I had sent the pair back that day, so I didn't send them bare feet pics. They received my return and then didn't resend a replacement for 10 days. All in, it took a little over 6 weeks to get a pair of RTW shoes.

Use & wear

I'm ordering a pizza when I finish this and I'm gonna wear them to get it.

Satisfied with the Fit

Fit is good. Somehow has decent support.

It's a thin piece of leather sewn onto midsole with a vibram sole. There's nothing to say here

Comfortable out of the box

Final thoughts

Other

The OSB version is $30 more expensive and comes with a leather midsole and free shipping (vs $15 shipping). Get that instead. These are definitely nice and serve the purpose I want them to, but it was such an unnecessary hassle.
