Clean lines, timeless design, and everyday comfort make the Mestari 76 a must-have for any sneaker collection.
I purchased a larger size as suggested and the right shoe fits quite well. The left shoe, however, caused a strain in my foot that I took a couple days to heal from. I reached out to support and they were only moderately helpful. I'm going to try getting an insole for the left foot and see how that goes as I do really like the look of the shoes and the right foot feels quite good. But I've never had a similar issue before and I was a bit disappointed with the response from customer service.

How would you describe the fit?:
Too small
Too big
Size purchased:8.5
Usual size worn:8.5
Best decision I made this month
The Mestari 76 is exactly what I'd hoped it would be. Stylish, you can wear them with any outfit; they are lightweight and, most importantly, super comfortable when I'm standing at work for long periods and walking around the city. Thanks, Kahru!
