Pros

  • · Catalog lists a first-layer cowhide upper with a rubber outsole and stitched sole construction.
  • · Side zipper plus lacing gives two ways to get in and out.
  • · Unisex size range from 36 to 47, offered in white and black.
  • · 3–5 cm heel, mid-depth opening, and a listing that covers all four seasons.

Cons

  • · Ramones-line buyers report the shape runs about a size large and sizing varies by season, so fit is not simply true to size.
  • · Legit-check guides for Ramones-style high-tops treat long or thick stitching, loose hanging threads, misaligned stitch lines, and shallow insole branding as details to inspect closely.
  • · Long-time Rick Owens customers report the brand's footwear leather feeling thinner than on pre-2019 pairs.

Fit notes

Ramones-line buyers most often say the shape runs about one size large and recommend sizing down; other discussions find fit inconsistent across seasons, with some releases tighter due to an added insole, and note a large toe box. This listing offers unisex 36–47. Ask the seller for insole and outsole measurements.

Buy if

Choose these if you want the high-top Ramones silhouette in white leather, with zip-and-lace entry and a 3–5 cm heel. Best if you are willing to size down and confirm measurements with the seller before ordering.

Skip if

Skip if you need a confirmed true-to-size fit or documented QC on this pair; sizing reports for this shape are mixed across seasons, and the authenticity checks buyers use for Ramones-style high-tops depend on stitching and insole details a standard listing does not show.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

How does this high-top fit?⌄

Buyer discussions of the Ramones shape most often report it runs about a size large, with others finding seasonal inconsistency and a large toe box. No claims describe this specific listing, so treat the reported sizing-down advice as a starting point and confirm measurements.

What should I check before ordering?⌄

Ask for insole and outsole measurements, since the shape is reported to run large and to vary by season. On arrival, inspect stitching length, loose threads, stitch-line alignment, and how deep the insole branding sits — the details Ramones legit-check guides flag.

Is the upper real leather?⌄

The listing specifies a first-layer cowhide upper. No independent claim in the record verifies the material on this pair, so that remains a catalog spec rather than a confirmed finding.

How do you put them on?⌄

The listing gives a side zipper plus lacing, so the shoe can be entered by the zip once the laces are set.

Is there buyer feedback on this exact listing?⌄

No. The available claims discuss Rick Owens Ramones-style high-tops generally, not this SKU, so they inform what to check rather than confirming anything about this pair.
