Quick verdict

These are lambskin high-tops with a rubber sole and stitched sole construction, listed across a wide women's 36–43 and men's 38–47 range in white or black. Owner reports on Rick Owens sizing conflict — some say true to size, others size down — so treat fit as unresolved and buy where a return or exchange is possible.

Pros

  • · Upper is listed as lambskin (sheepskin), the material owners of Rick Owens high-tops describe as comfortable, smooth and stretchy.
  • · Buyer reports consistently describe the toe box as roomy, which suits wider feet.
  • · Catalog construction: rubber outsole, stitched sole attachment, front lacing, flat heel, round toe.
  • · Wide size run — women's 36–43 and men's 38–47 — in white and black colorways.

Cons

  • · Sizing guidance from owners is genuinely split between true to size and sizing down, so fit can't be settled from a listing.
  • · Some long-time customers say the leather was thicker in pre-2019 collections, even as others still call current quality good.
  • · The title says high-top while the listing's own shaft-height field says low-top, so the silhouette needs confirming.

Fit notes

The most common buyer advice is to go down about half to one full size versus your usual sneaker, citing a roomy toe box, and Chinese-language guides say the shoes run long. Others wear true to size, and reports are openly inconsistent. Wide feet fit comfortably, but not unlimitedly. Confirm the return policy.

Buy if

You want a white lambskin high-top for daily casual wear and can confirm the silhouette first, since the listing's title says high-top while its own shaft-height field says low-top. Best if you can try a pair on or order with a return option, given how split the sizing reports are.

Skip if

You need a settled fit answer before ordering, or you won't exchange a pair that doesn't work. Sizing reports split between true to size and sizing down 0.5–1, and buyers of the very wide sock Ramone style advise 1.5–2 sizes down. This isn't one to buy blind.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Should I size down in these Rick Owens sneakers?⌄

Owner advice leans toward half to one size down because the toe box is roomy, but other owners wear true to size and some describe the guidance as inconsistent. Try on or buy with a return option.

What materials does the listing specify?⌄

The listing gives a lambskin upper, rubber outsole, textile insole and stitched sole construction, with a round toe and front lacing.

Is this the high-top or the low-top version?⌄

The title says high-top, but the listing's shaft-height field says low-top with an opening depth under 7 cm, so confirm the silhouette with the seller before ordering.

How does the fit work for wide feet?⌄

Buyers report a roomy toe box that suits wider feet, though Chinese-language guides note it isn't unlimitedly wide; the very wide sock Ramone silhouette drew advice to size down 1.5–2.
