Quick verdict

Fit notes

Community advice for Ramones-style high tops leans toward sizing down about a full size, while other buyers call them true to size. The leather upper is described as slim, with little room for wide feet. Ask the seller for an insole measurement before choosing.

Buy if

For the buyer who wants a leather high-top with a stitched rubber sole and slip-on entry, and who will check the actual size chart rather than assume a size-down rule. A wide forefoot is the case that most needs that check first.

Skip if

Skip it if you want a plush, immediately comfortable sneaker or a single clear sizing answer. Community reports split between running large and true to size, and some Rick Owens buyers describe leather styles as painful during break-in.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Should I size down in these?⌄

Community advice for Ramones-style high tops commonly suggests sizing down about a full size, but other buyers report them as true to size. Because the feedback splits, get an insole or outsole measurement from the seller instead of guessing.

What does the listing say about construction?⌄

It lists a full-grain leather upper, rubber sole, and stitched sole construction, with slip-on entry. Those are catalog specifications, not results from wear testing.

Are there comfort complaints about this style?⌄

Yes — some Rick Owens leather sneaker wearers describe a painful or uncomfortable break-in period. That feedback is about the brand's leather styles generally, not this specific pair.

Has anyone reported quality changes?⌄

Some Rick Owens footwear buyers say the leather on newer shoes is thinner than on earlier collections from before 2019. That is a broader brand-level report, not an inspection of this pair.
