I went to a Nike store to try them on. They’re identical to these! They’re true to size. At the store, I saw the sponge exposed at the tongue just like these and like they made them in the 70’s! They’re perfect for cold dry days. It’ll take a while to break in the high top at the ankle. There’s no arch support just like Vans or Converse. So add an insole! Idk why people are complaining! These are for real!
