Non-boot winter shoes for a change!
A couple of sneakerheads wanted a winter sneaker that isn’t boot-type, and Palermo Street Tall is it! Wearers testified to how it effectively keeps their feet warm and toasty both in rainy and wintery seasons. One even called the pair “anti-rain shoes.” Another described it “like a puffy coat for your feet.”
Needs more structure
The downside of the sneaker’s feathery light construction is it became a “little wobbly.” A reviewer expected it to be flimsy because even the warm fabric material feels light.
Putting it on is a downer
The flimsiness of Palermo Street Tall also affected the reviewers’ insertion of feet. One noted that the feeble collar makes it “impossible to put on easily.” He added: “I thought they would be practical but not at all.” Another factor is the non-conventional and “a little bit weird to adjust” laces that aren’t easily operable by some.
Merrell Nova Moc is pocket-friendly
Spending a retail price of $80 for this sneaker was not an issue for the sneakerheads, as it comes with lots of perks and functionalities. Compared to the average cost of winter sneakers on our database, Palermo Street Tall is 57% more affordable.
