A lace-up leather sneaker with a sheepskin lining, natural leather insole, and rubber sole, offered in white and khaki across sizes 35–40 for casual year-round wear. The available claims cover New Balance sizing habits and brand-level quality discussion, not this specific listing. If the leather build suits you, buy through an agent and confirm stitching condition and return terms first.

Buy if

Skip if
You need buyer verification of this exact listing before ordering, or you are between sizes with wide feet — the claims note low-profile New Balance sneakers can feel snug in the toe box, and the available feedback is brand-level rather than about this pair.
