Ebarrito black & metallic leather high top sneakers, EU40/9, EUC

I'm a big fan of Ebarrito shoes and bags because the company's philosophy is very focused on sustainability. To that end, all of their hand-made shoes and bags are constructed using recycled leather offcuts in a wild assortment of colours and patterns. So, while a particular design may remain the same, you can be sure no two pairs of shoes (or bags) are alike. There's a color combination for everyone. I happen to like more subtle combinations, so this cool pair of high-top zippered sneaker boots caught my eye immediately. They feature a black suede toe panel accented by a metallic graphite leather top panel between the two diagonal side zips, metallic purple & black abstract floral patterned leather on the sides, and a snakeskin print on the heel. This might sound busy, but the overall look is cohesive and is surprisingly versatile when it comes to styling. Sadly for me, I could only find this color combo in a size EU40, which barely fits my size 9.5 feet. The length is OK for 9.5, but I have high arches, so after wearing them, the top of my arch was in pain, so I've decided to let them go. Apart from the tight fit on my arches, these are super comfortable, with a white rubber wedged flatform sole. Ebarrito has stopped making this style of sneaker boots, so you'll never run into anyone with the same pair. These would best fit a size 9 foot. I only wore them a couple of times, so apart from slight discoloration on the soles, these are in excellent condition.
