"First, about the sizing: Women's size 44.5 and men's size 45 have the same inner length of 290mm. So for normal feet, go half a size down, and for wide feet, stick to your regular size (buying the regular size might feel slightly longer inside but less pressure on the instep). Don't listen to those marketing influencers who suggest buying half a size up! As for the quality: The collab version does feel better in terms of material. The tongue, body, and toe are all quite stiff, which feels different from the regular version. However, I didn't expect the comfort to be even stiffer [sweating_blue][sweating_blue][sweating_blue]. The long-haired suede is great as expected, but what surprised me was the cowhide leather on the upper. It feels strange—smooth but not sticky, very dry, almost like water would leave a mark if it dripped on it, so it seems like it won't be very stain-resistant [crying_blue]. The leather is probably real leather, and I suspect the creases will be quite noticeable. I'll update after wearing them for a while. The inner lining is a bit slippery, so if you don't tie the laces, you might need to pull them up a few extra eyelets to avoid that loose feeling at the heel."lg...More
