Retail Price: $95k - $135k

My Price: $64

Overall Review: 9/10

Pros: I've ordered shoes from DHgate before and I was not super impressed with the quality. I swore to myself that I was going to stick to the "real deal" if I ever wanted to order shoes. But, I decided to take a risk on these...cuz your girl would NEVER be able to afford the real deal on these ones. And even if I could afford them, I don't think I could every justify spending $95,000 on SHOES. I'm so glad I took the risk on these ones though! The quality is amazing! I don't have the real deal, so I honestly do not know who close these are to the actual real ones, but DANG - very happy with this purchase.

Cons: The only issue I have with these is sizing. I think the sizing is very difficult. I typically base it off of European sizes, but I have found that EURO sizing really doesn't fit an 8.5 super well. Ideally, I like to wear a 25.5CM shoe. This is not available in EURO sizing. I did end up purchasing a Men's Size 7 (25CM) and a Men's Size 8 (26CM). I have worn both for a good amount of time and I have decided to go with the Men's Size 7 (25CM). If I measure my foot, my foot IS 25CM. For my personal preference: I HATE when shoes are too tight around my toe-box. I have a wide foot, and have started buying American 9's in Nike a lot due to the shoes starting to feel a lot more narrow but did find the Men's Size 7 to fit well!

Typically, the best thing to do with sizing is to measure your foot in CM's. My CM size foot is a little more than 25. There is a women's size 8.5 (EUR 40) and also a Mens US 7 (EUR 40) - I did end up keeping the Men's Size 7.

I hope this helps with sizing - I do feel it's complicated for me since I'm a half-size in American. I would take a measuring tape and measure the longest part of your foot and base it off of CM's. This is by far the most accurate measurement!

BUY or PASS? This is no doubt a BUY for me! I feel like these will match sooo many things - just like white or black shoes. And the quality is so good! The only complicated part is knowing what size.
