Cinzia Araia silver leather Rick Owens cut sneaker boots, EU41, EUC, uni…

I've been so on the fence about selling this fierce pair of sneaker boots. One of my most treasured pairs for several years, these sneakers are peak Cinzia Araia, and I'm not 100% convinced that Araia didn't come up with this silhouette before Rick Owens. They both launched more or less simultaneously. Coincidence? Did they secretly hang out and collaborate? I would not be surprised. I wore them mostly for performing on stage. Sadly for me, the footbed is slightly short, so I end up bruising the end of my big toe with any amount of walking - as my feet slowly expand over the years, I can't really wear them any more. This is tragic, someone should wear them! They're a men's size 41, and the fit on my extra high arches is both snug and breathable - the cut of this shoe is perfection, and the leather is wonderfully supple and accommodating. The footbed, however, measures barely 10.25" - a bit short for my size 9.5 feet in a closed toe. This is a unisex style, but if you're a narrower size 9 in women's sizing, your feet might be swimming a bit. I'd recommend these for wider feet. In men's sizing, that would translate to a size 7.5 at most; a men's 7 should also work with this pair. Very little visible wear on the uppers - the silver grainy leather finish camouflages minor scuffs very well. There's slight wear on the rubber at the left heel from driving; otherwise, this pair is in excellent condition and will give you OOTD inspiration for years to come.
