The fit, explained
A square apex and accommodating forefoot give the toes room across the front rather than at one point, which suits feet whose toes are close in length.
A broadly forgiving leather control boot that suits square and Roman toe shapes especially well.
Break-in: Leather forefoot gives a little; the Flyknit sections hold their shape.
