Cons
Fit notes
Rick Owens sizing reports are split: some owners size down, others order true to size, and a repeated tip is that boots run large, varying by model. This listing spans women's 36–39 and men's 38–43. Ask the seller for insole and outsole measurements in your size.
Buy if
You want a black, high-shaft, lace-up leather boot with a stitched rubber sole and mid heel across a full unisex size run, and you are willing to confirm insole measurements for your size before ordering.
Skip if
You need sizing you can take straight from the label without checking, or a boot where heel wear is not a documented concern: Rick Owens buyer threads flag heel durability, and sizing reports conflict.
