Honestly, this astir series needs to be discontinued. I bought Astir and Astir SN for running and it’s been nothing but a very frustrating experience that has resulted in an ankle pain. They are so uncomfortable, the laces keep coming undone no matter how tight I tie them. They expanded to almost doubled the size with just two wears. I have developed ankle pain which I never had before these shoes. I basically just spent my money buying myself problems when I bought these shoes. They are still in brand new state but useless to me now. In one run I had to redo the lace 6 times, completely killed my motivation to continue my run.

note that the beige portion is actually suede. still looks good
