Quick verdict

This is the Yeezy Boost 700 (style code FW2498) in black, listed across a 36–45 size run. Model-level fit guides describe a narrow toe box and advise sizing up half a size or more. Those claims cover the 700 line, not this pair specifically; confirm materials and the exact size with your agent.

Pros

  • · Wearers quoted in the sourcing describe the 700 as very comfortable for all-day casual wear.
  • · A style-guide review credits the full-length Boost cushioning and thick rubber midsole with a light, easy underfoot feel.
  • · Catalog lists a broad size run: 36 through 45, including several half sizes.

Cons

  • · The toe box is cut narrow, and the 700 series is described as running small overall.
  • · Later 700 colorways (Mauve, Inertia, Analog) add padding and tongue elastic, which makes the fit tighter still.

Fit notes

Fit guides for the 700 line advise going up half a size, sometimes a full size, if you sit between sizes. The toe box is described as narrow, and later colorways add padding and tongue elastic that tighten it further. The listing shows 36–45, with half sizes at 36.5, 37.5, 38.5, 40.5 and 42.5.

Buy if

You want a Boost-cushioned retro runner for casual, all-day wear and you are willing to size up — half or a full size — because the 700 line is described as snug through the toe box. You can confirm size and colourway availability with your agent before ordering.

Skip if

You expect a true-to-size fit or a roomy toe box. You need independent verification of this specific pair's materials, stitching or QC before buying, since the available claims describe the 700 model line rather than this listing.
