I’ll let you know if they look like spider legs, I’m hoping they don’t. I love leopard so I think they’ll be okay! Lol

I’m sure they’ll be great! It’s just my weirdness. LOL I look at the laces and say hmm so I look closer and think aahhhhhhh! I like leopard too but for some reason ..,
Please post pics when you get them.
 
They look great on!!

I hope your feet aren’t giving you any trouble. :smile:

Thanks! Just the usual healing time. It’ll be a couple of months before the swelling is completely gone.
I’ve decided I need to stop looking. Haha I think there will always be a shoe I like so unless I somehow come up with more space to store them I need to take a break! I’ll just have to lurk and admire other ppls purchases. Well see how long this lasts.
 
After returning my last pair, I found the mesh ones, and I really do love the style of them. Now, they were not as comfortable as the all leather version. They about killed my feet the first day wearing them but I wanted to break them in (they hurt right where the leather and mesh meet around top part of my feet). The second day wearing them was better, but my feet still hurt and by the 3rd time trying to wear them I was having "that" conversation in my head-LOL you know the one when you start debating if it is worth it or not?

I decided not to wear them but to stretch them for an entire day. That helped a lot!!! I believe these hurt more because the mesh is so strong that it takes longer to stretch and mold than the leather/suede ones. The leather toe is also more durable (almost hard) which also contributed to the pain factor.

I love the look of these, but I just KNOW they'd kill my little fussy toes.
Glad you're making them work, though! :) They're really nice.

I feel you. I tried this as my first pair of GG but I felt that the canvas squished my toes so much, it’s just not comfortable, particularly on the right side. I ended up returning them. The leather ones though - oh I love them so much! Now I’m a bit hesitant to try/order any other canvases online.

Hope they get to where you can wear them all day with no issues!

I would encourage you to at least try on another pair of canvas ones to see the diff. The fabric/canvas ones I have are all comfortable from the start with no break in needed. The mesh/fabric pair I have are not uncomfortable all over from the fabric being stiff but from the fabric sewn together so it’s thick and stiff. I’m not sure it’s the same material as the pair yellow08 posted about. So I tried to manipulate the fabric a little with my fingers and that actually helped a lot.
 
I got the same ones from Shopbop.com and go 25% off. I haven’t had a chance to wear them yet but can’t wait.

The sale came along at the perfect time. Love the purple star and that they’re suede and not bright white. My niece likes all white sneakers/trainers but I feel weird when they’re all bright white.

They look great on you! I never had an issue with mine, even out of the box. The first day I wore them out the box for 8 hours in NYC. Maybe you got a bad pair? Anyway, I love them on you!
