A black-and-white one-piece knit lace-up on a black sole with an integrated height-increasing insole — 2.4 inches of total lift at 12 ounces.
Highlights
✓
12 ounces at US 7.5 — on a shoe carrying an internal lift, a couple of ounces is the difference you notice by evening.
✓
One-piece knit upper, neoprene lining, pull tab — breathable and sock-like, with a tab to get it on over the lifted insole. The trade-off is structure: knit gives less support and weather protection than leather.
✓
2.4 inches of total height increase, 1.25 inches of it in the outer heel, with an integrated insole carrying the rest inside the shoe.
✓
A 4 1/4-inch shaft — lower than the 5-inch low-tops in the rest of this range, so the collar sits well under the ankle.
✓
Whole sizes 6 to 13, standard D / medium width only. No half sizes, no wide fitting, and the cement-built sole cannot be resoled.
This is the pick for travel, long walking days and warm weather, where weight and breathability matter more than polish. Spot-clean the knit rather than soaking it and it keeps its shape. If you like a knit upper but want more ankle coverage, the knit trainers run to a 5.5-inch shaft at 14 ounces; the synthetic mid-tops are 13 ounces with a taller heel.
Also in men's shoes, men's activewear and the wider men's department.
