View QC PhotosQuick verdict
Buyer feedback exists for the Out of Office line, not for this navy variant: owners call the leather soft, and creasing is the most common complaint. Because this listing's lining and outsole spec differ from the documented OOO build, that feedback transfers only partly. Check the Off-White size chart and confirm materials with the seller.

Fit notes
Retailer fit guides say the Out of Office runs true to size with a roomy, padded fit, and suggest your normal size or a half size down for snugness. Aggregated department-store ratings on the men's low-top instead report 'runs large' and 'runs wide'. One buyer found Off-White's EU labelling differs from standard UK-to-EU conversion, so check the brand's own chart.
Buy if
You want a low-top, lace-up leather sneaker in navy colour-block, unisex sizes 35–46, and you are comfortable confirming upper, lining and outsole specs with the seller before buying. The padded, roomy fit suits buyers who prefer a little space over a snug hold.
Skip if
You need independently verified long-wear comfort or a confirmed height gain; owners of the OOO line say the model tires on long days, and no buyer discussion covers the raised midsole here. Buyers who want a snug fit or exact EU-to-UK sizing should verify the chart first.

Buying FAQ
Line guidance is mixed: retailer fit guides describe the Out of Office as true to size and roomy, while aggregated department-store ratings for the men's low-top report 'runs large' and 'runs wide'. Check the Off-White size chart before choosing.
The listing's spec sheet states a first-layer cow leather upper with a microfibre lining and PU outsole, which differs from the documented Out of Office build of bovine leather, recycled-polyester lining and rubber sole. Confirm the materials with the seller for this variant.
The listing advertises a height-increasing function, but no independent buyer discussion was found verifying the height gain or long-term comfort of the raised PU midsole and outsole on this navy variant.
Creasing on the leather upper is the most frequently raised complaint for the Out of Office low-top leather model, and one buyer reported the colour or finish cracking after about a week. No independent discussion covers the navy colourway's finish or colour-fastness.
Evidence
No independent buyer discussion specific to the navy colourway's finish or colour-fastness was found; only general Out of Office feedback on colour/style is available, so colour-durability evidence for this navy variant is thin.
SourceAn Out of Office buyer who otherwise praised the calfskin build noted the sneakers crease easily on the leather upper — the most frequently raised wear complaint for this low-top leather model.
SourceA buyer who owns several Off-White sneakers said the Out of Office Low looks great and draws compliments but is not the most comfortable for long periods of wear, despite the padded collar and tongue.
SourceThe listing's own spec sheet describes a cow-leather upper with a microfibre (超纤) lining and a PU outsole, while the authentic Out of Office Low is documented with a bovine-leather upper, recycled-polyester textile lining and a rubber sole — so fit, creasing and outsole-durability findings from the authentic line only partially transfer to this variant.
SourceThe listing advertises a height-increasing function, but no independent buyer discussion was found verifying the height gain or long-term comfort of the raised PU midsole/outsole on this specific navy variant.
SourceAt least one Out of Office buyer reported the shoe's colour/finish cracking after roughly a week of wear, describing the quality as lower than the price suggests.
SourceAcross Flannels and House of Fraser buyer reviews of the Out of Office, owners consistently describe the leather as soft and the shoe as comfortable and well made ('like gloves for your feet', 'soft cushions'), with fit described as true to their usual size.
SourceLine-level (Out of Office Low / OOO) fit guidance from retailer fit guides: the model runs true to size with a roomy, padded fit, so buyers are typically advised to take their normal size, or go half a size down if they want a snugger fit.
