The craftsmanship is beautiful, and I was blown away by the fact that the heel coordinates matched a spot in Canada, not something I expected when ordering a pair of shoes from Paris to Canada! Such a unique touch
I bought the OTA KELWOOD-White in January 2024. I really liked the ethos of the company and their sustainable credentials and thought I would give them a go and upon receiving the shoes I was really happy with how they looked and the quality feel that they seemed to have.
However unfortunately I don't think that they are built to be an "everyday" shoe. I where trainers pretty much everyday and after 5 months these are battered. The inner heel fell away within a few weeks, the insole started delaminating after a month or so, and the stitching on the details on the outside of the shoe started coming off after 3 months. I like to think I can get a solid year out of a pair of trainers so this was quite disappointing!
It's a real shame as I had such high hopes for them! I think durability is an issue for a lot of shoes made with sustainable materials as things like recycled cotton and faux-leather just aren't as durable materials - however the issue here often appeared to be stitching and adhesives. Hope they sort this out in the future as they seem a cool brand, just not quite there yet for me!
