Has anyone got them? I ordered a pair (there may have been wine involved...) and they have arrived & I’m undecided.

They are wildly expensive for what seems like a fairly basic canvas trainer. They look nice, they’re going to need very low trainer socks & they seem comfortable. However I’m wondering if they’re a bit ‘Emperors new clothes’ & I’ve fallen for the marketing hype!? I get that they’re fantastic from a sustainable clothing perspective - although whether that is negated by the fact that they were, unbeknownst to me when ordering, flown in from Singapore via Hong Kong I don’t know! Any opinions from anyone who has already got or is thinking of buying them?

I've been contemplating getting the exact same pair but wanted to find a few more reviews first.

Have you decided to keep them? What's the sizing like?

They look fab!

I decided to keep them - I love white trainers & have convinced myself these fill a gap for summery lightweight ones for sunny days (unlike my several pairs of Converse or Vans...hmm!) & are really well made. Sizing seems spot on, I’m a 6.5 UK (US9). I used a code I found to get 15%, no idea if it still works though AXIOS15. I don’t think I used express delivery & they arrived surprisingly fast. I can see I might end up with other colours...
