Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Not documented for this pair. The r/Rickowens wiki shows model-dependent results — true-to-size, size-up, and size-down all appear. For high-top canvas-style Rick Owens pairs, some owners say narrow feet can go down one, while wide feet should stay near true size. Compare the seller's chart to a shoe you already own.
Buy if
You want a black suede high-top with a stitched rubber sole for everyday casual wear, and you'll verify the size against the seller's measurements before ordering. The flat heel, round toe, mid-depth opening, and all-season listing suit daily use.
Skip if
You want one verified fit rule or assurance carried over from the brand's other styles. Community sizing guidance is explicitly model-dependent, some brand reviewers report coating peel and repair refusals, and some owners describe certain Rick Owens sneakers as painful to wear.
