Burberry high-tops that make the sidewalk a runway

Questions and answers

Is $196.58 a good price for these sneakers?

It is a steep discount from typical Burberry high-top pricing, which often runs several hundred dollars. With only two stores listing them new, compare both before buying.

How do the hook-and-loop straps fit compared with laces?

The straps adjust across the top of the foot and are quicker than laces. The stretch upper does much of the work, so fine-tuning is limited.

Do they run true to size?

The stretch upper tends to hug the foot, so most shoppers take their usual size. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, consider sizing up.

Are they men's or women's shoes?

They are listed for both men's and women's departments, so check the size chart for the conversion you need.

What is the upper made of?

A cotton blend with nylon, set on a rubber sole. The stretch comes from the knit-like construction rather than leather.

When is the price likely to be lowest?

Clearance and end-of-season sales on designer sneakers tend to bring the lowest prices. Watch the price history for drops below $196.58.
