SAINT LAURENT/長靴/EU 38.5/天鵝絨/黑色/

I was worried about fit with a EU 38.5, but these boots are surprisingly comfortable right out of the box and the velour has a nice subtle sheen in person.

The velour texture is much softer in person than the photos suggested, and the black finish looks elegant even after some wear. They fit true to size for a 38.5 and slip on smoothly over skinny jeans. I’ve worn them three times already and they’ve held their shape beautifully.

I was nervous buying pre-owned boots online, but these arrived looking nearly untouched, and the black velour is evenly rich with no noticeable wear at the heel or toe. The EU 38.5 fits true to my usual 7.5, and the shaft holds its shape without feeling stiff. Definitely a keeper for the price.
