The size of these shoes is slightly larger than regular athletic shoes (half a size). For example, I wear a size 44 in Nike, but in these shoes, I wear a size 43. However, I recommend getting the same size as your athletic shoes and adding good, soft insoles. If you wear them without insoles for everyday use, standing or walking all day will tire and hurt your feet. These shoes are intended for track and field, meaning a soft and flexible tartan surface. For asphalt, you need more cushioning. The construction quality is good, but the shoes are glued, not stitched. Anything over 50€ is a rip-off in my opinion.

Nice shoe aesthetically. Timelessly elegant. But it's not suitable for summer. It's made of leather and therefore very warm. Only for winter.

Taste is a personal matter and so are preferences.
The first mass-produced specialized running shoe.
Made for the Olympic Games in 1966.
Durable due to the leather material.
However, comfort is subjective.
And of course, it is now worn as a casual walking shoe rather than for sports.
But despite the three consecutive models, my feet needed comfort.
So, for a daily sneaker with jeans for walking, etc., the Asics classic ct was chosen.
No lies, it provides superior comfort compared to the beloved Mexico.
Perhaps a solution would have been, with the purchase of the Mexico, to add an extra sole to make it somewhat more cushioned and soft.
