I wore these around the house a few times and they’re brand new. Size 38 fits me perfectly in this style, as I’m usually an 8 or 8.5. UPPER: Various high-quality leathers. Padded instep collar. TOE BOX: Roomy, reinforced toe box allows toes to move comfortably with plenty of "wiggle room." HEEL COUNTER: Allows heel to move up and down freely while providing lateral stability. SOCKLINING: Leather for breathability. FOOTBED: Single-density open-cell PU foam. INNER FRAME: Provides added stability throughout. OUTSOLE: PU rocker bottom promotes forward motion for shock absorption and energy return. Wide heel strike assists with stability.
