I debated on getting these for WEEKS. I purchased the white and gum Zilker over a year ago and loved them, but my personal struggled with how often they look dirty. I washed them often, but it was a bit annoying to maintain them the way I personally like to. Because of this I was looking into a more "off white" version that felt a bit more like a sneaker in structure.

Other reviews made me curious about size and how "beige" these really were, because some photos the beige looked more yellow and others more of a creamy white (which is what I was hoping for).

Color is perfect! Not too yellowy, but enough color to offset the occasional dirt, etc., especially with the blocking design. As far as size goes, I'm a true 8.5 in running shoes/tennis shoes, so I initially ordered a full size down like some reviews suggested. When I received the 7.5, they were a bit too snug in the toes, even without socks so I sized up to an 8 and they are perfect - with or without socks!

These are definitely a bit more structured than the Zilker, but not to the point where they are like a standard sneaker (vans, or converse). My Zilker size was an 8.5 for reference.

Overall, highly recommend!!

I am prone to blisters- no matter the shoe… I will come back from trips in pain or grumpy. My husband has said he would like to stop hearing about how much I love these shoes- I’m ordering more as we speak. My feet didn’t hurt, no blisters, and I was able to wash and go. 🥰

Feel a little big without socks which is how I'll wear them but on short walks, haven't experienced any rubbing to cause blisters. Since feet swell on planes & in heat of summer, this could be advantageous. Hoping they clean up well unlike white albirds I bought last year. After one trip wearing traveling in airports, can not get stains out. Love that they are so light & packable!
