Great high-top Josef Seibel sneakers! A simple, stylish model with completely black soles. The laces allow for good adjustability, and there are also zippers next to the laces to make putting them on easier. Lovely shoes for many outfits and occasions!

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Size 42 fit Maria’s foot well, and the width was quite comfortable. In this model, the big toe line is nicely straight, so Maria could also take size 42. However, Maria is used to quite a roomy toe box, so she thought that size 43 might be better in terms of length, even though there would be some extra room at the toe. The laces can be tightened for a good fit, and an additional insole wouldn’t hurt either. Really nice soft shoes!
