For buyers after a Rick Owens-styled white high-top with a stated leather upper and lining, a side zip, and a platform sole, the listing runs sizes 35–46 across twenty-five colorways. Fit is the unsettled part: owner reports on Rick Owens high-tops split between sizing down and staying true to size. Confirm the size with the seller before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Owner reports conflict. One common line of advice for Ramones-style high-tops is to size down one from your normal sneaker, since the pair runs large and an insole can be added later. Others in the same discussions kept their usual size, such as US 9 wearers taking a 42. The listing offers 35–46 and states a shallow opening under 7 cm.
Buy if
You want a unisex, four-season high-top with a stated leather upper and lining, a side zip for easier entry, and a platform sole, and you are willing to confirm sizing and return terms with the seller before ordering.
Skip if
You need fit to be predictable from the listing alone, or you want a pair where comfort and coating durability are already well settled. Owner reports on Rick Owens high-tops disagree on sizing and include both comfort and coating complaints.

Buying FAQ
Owner reports are split — many Rick Owens Ramones-style high-top wearers advise one size down because the shoe runs large, while others took their normal size. With both accounts in the record, confirm the size with the seller before ordering.
Yes. The listing states a leather upper and leather lining, with a rubber insole and rubber outsole. No independent verification of those materials appears in the claims.
The listing describes a platform, thick-sole heel style and gives a sole thickness figure of 5, but the copy does not state the unit. Ask the seller to confirm whether that figure is in centimeters.
The only durability claim available concerns Rick Owens footwear generally: one buyer reported a coating peeling to the base material in under three weeks and said the brand declined to treat it as a defect. It is not a report on this specific listing.
The listing marks it unisex and lists sizes 35 through 46, so it is offered across men's and women's sizing. Fit reports from Rick Owens high-top owners still vary, so confirm the size band you need with the seller.
Evidence
A Rick Owens shoe buyer reported significant damage (peeling coating exposing the material underneath) after just under three weeks of wear, and the brand declined to treat it as a manufacturing defect.
SourceSome buyers describe Rick Owens sneaker models as uncomfortable or painful to wear, prioritizing comfort over the silhouette when choosing them.
SourceFor Rick Owens Ramones-style high-tops, buyers commonly advise going down one size compared to your normal sneaker size, noting that sizing runs large and it's easier to add an insole to a bigger pair than to fix a smaller one.
SourceSome Rick Owens DRKSHDW high-top owners report the fit is true to size (e.g., US 9 wearers taking a 42), while others in the same thread needed to size down, so fit is not fully consistent across wearers.
