OTA - On The Asphalt Avaliações 

Le concept était vraiment top, une super démarche, un design intéressant, un peu cher, mais au vu de la qualité supposé et du made in Europe, rien de choquant. Le soucis est survenu après quelques jours. Déjà le confort est très moyen. Difficile de garder ces sneakers toute la journée, lourdes, rigides et pas assez aérées. Mais le vrai problème est la qualité. Au bout de deux mois, la couleur rouge de mes sneakers avait partiellement déteint. Les coutures se barraient et la semelle a jauni de façon irrémédiable. Le confort est devenu de pire en pire. J'ai arrêté de les porter peu après.

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!
