I usually wear a 24cm size in Adidas sneakers and Converse, and these fit perfectly with thick socks. They have laces, but you can loosen them and use the Velcro closure, making them easy to take on and off. The ankles have cushioning, and the insoles also have cushioning. These are wedge sole sneakers made of soft lambskin. Because they are made of dyed genuine leather, the color appearance is asymmetrical between the left and right shoes. Opening: Velcro + Laces Material: Lambskin Pattern/Design: Solid color with studs Color: Blue Gray Heel: 8.5cm Sole Heel Shape: Wedge Please understand that these are used items and have been stored at home. Thank you.
