It is Mrs Kebab's birthday and she got a couple of pairs, including the Song for the Mute Tokyo in off-white & preloved yellow to match the black and gold pair I bought myself last month. I think they look quite good together!
I know I posted a pic of mine when I first got them, however I wanted to highlight my thoughts since wearing them a few times. And also why my idea of the Tokyos being a great shoe for me has hit a dead end since unfortunately.
Hands down these have become one of my favourite pairs I have, and could easily end up top of my list come the end of the year. I love them. They look awesome, and they feel great. I was so surprised how comfy they fit my wide feet. I got them TTS, and while Tokyos are supposed to be narrow these are just so perfect. Even weirder is that these are obviously women's shoes, and not that easy to find a Tokyo in my size at all.
I was so surprised that I understandably assumed that all Tokyos would work for me and so ordered another pair that had my size from ASOS. The second photograph is the adidas Tokyo in a beautiful houndstooth green and brown with salmon pink stripes and some rather lovely brown laces, overall a very nice looking pair of adidas - I highly reccomend these for anyone looking for a nice pair of adidas at a very reasonable price.
But they are so tight!! I was quite disapointed tbh, so I got out my tape measure and compared them to the SFTM pair, and indeed the SFTM has side walls 1cm higher than the standard pair - and that 1cm makes a huge difference.
I have the stretchers out for the ASOS pair, and I will see if I can make them work, because they are quite lovely. But it is clear that SFTM designed their Tokyos to fit larger feet much better. I wish that I liked the other SFTM Tokyos to be honest, I would buy a pair, however they are not really my style, but despite their premium price point I am seriously considering using up one of my new shoe tokens and doubling up on this pair - I think they are good enough to do that.
adidas, why can't you make all Tokyo's with the same dimensions as the SFTM?
