These Jil Sander boots are super comfy and minimalist, per the style of Jil Sander. These boots were designed and crafted when Sander was actually in charge of the atelier. I’ve worn them a lot, but they still have good wear! The suede is a little bit shaggy in places (you can trim with cheap suede razor), but the soles are good to go for many years to come. They hug the foot closely, so I would recommend these more for a size 9 foot. But they are technically a 9–9.5. I hate to see them go, but my foot has grown!
