Quick verdict

A black high-top in the classic Rick Owens athletic silhouette, listed in unisex EU 36–47 with a fur-and-leather upper and a sewn rubber sole. The only fit guidance available comes from brand-level buyer guides, not this listing, and they say Rick Owens sneakers often run large. Confirm insole and outsole measurements with the seller before ordering.

Pros

  • · Catalog lists a fur-and-leather upper with cotton lining and a textile insole
  • · Rubber outsole described as sewn sole construction
  • · Unisex size run spans EU 36–47, covering both women's and men's sizing
  • · Lace-up front, round toe, low 1–3 cm heel, black and green colorways

Cons

  • · Brand-level buyer guides say Rick Owens sneakers commonly run about a full size large, and this listing provides no fit measurement to confirm that
  • · The same guidance splits by foot shape: wide-footed buyers are told to size down only half a size, and high insteps are warned against sizing down at all
  • · One buyer post describes Rick Owens high-tops as uncomfortable or painful over extended wear; the claims do not address this pair specifically

Fit notes

Buyer guides for Rick Owens sneakers commonly report about a full size of extra length, with half-to-full sizing down as the usual adjustment. Those same guides advise wide-footed buyers to size down only half a size, and caution high-instep wearers about the thicker tongue. None of this is verified for this listing, so ask the seller for insole and outsole measurements.

Buy if

You want the Ramones-style high-top in black or green and a wide unisex size run. Brand-level buyer guides point to sizing down half to a full size, so it suits shoppers willing to confirm insole and outsole measurements with the seller before committing.

Skip if

You need model-specific fit or comfort data before buying, or you have a high instep and would rather not manage a thick tongue with uncertain sizing. A buyer report of long-wear discomfort in this silhouette is also worth weighing.

Public notes used

other · con · 32% confidence

Some buyers find Rick Owens high-top sneakers attractive but reportedly uncomfortable or painful to wear for extended periods.

Source
sizing · tip · 62% confidence

Rick Owens sneakers in the Ramones/mainline style commonly run about a full size large, so buyers typically size down half to a full size for a correct fit.

sizing · mixed · 58% confidence

Fit consistency across Rick Owens sneaker models and seasons is inconsistent: older mainline Ramones fit noticeably large while more recent Geobaskets felt slightly tight in the same nominal size.

sizing · tip · 45% confidence

Wide-footed buyers are advised to only size down half a size (or stay true to size) rather than a full size, since sizing down too much can squeeze the toes.

Source
sizing · tip · 42% confidence

Buyers with a high instep should be careful about sizing down on Rick Owens sneakers, as the thicker tongue can press down on the top of the foot and feel tight.
