★★★★☆
Great design, but slightly wide fit and heavy sole.
Superga's have such a classic appearance, but they aren't ideal for a narrow female foot. I find the length about half a size too long, which is not big deal. The problem I have is that the footbed is definitely wider than comparable casual shoes, such as Vans or Chuck Taylor Allstars. The thick sole feels like a heavy chunk of rubber which pulls away from my foot as I walk, and even with tight lacing, there is a bit of extra slack around the ankle. Again, I have a narrow foot and I realize these attributes are due to my foot shape and not necessarily the shoe's "fault," but I think they're important to mention nonetheless. If you're the opposite of me and find that Chuck Taylors are a bit narrow, this might be a more comfortable option for you.
This shoe would fit a medium-to-wide foot much more appropriately than a narrow foot. This might be because the shoes are unisex and thus not ideal for a slimmer female foot. I'm giving the shoe 4 stars primarily for appearance, but taking off a star because I think the shoe is only suited for certain people.
