Buffalo ASPHA COM1 Beige Ankle boots Women

A German brand famous for the platform sneakers of the ’90s and statement shoes.

The ’90s Buffalo Classic Low platform sole came back into fashion: street-style icon.

The iconic line has massive platform soles; there are also normal models.

Generally true to size; the platform adds stable height.

Some models use leather, others synthetics and canvas by style.

The massive sole adds weight compared to a normal sneaker.

A damp cloth on the upper; the sole cleans with water.

The platforms use rubber/sponge compounds with a wide tread.

When the tread pattern is smooth on the contact zones, or the shoe leans sideways when placed on the floor.

Some leather models soften with wear; feeling them stiffer in the first days is normal.

It depends on the material: treated leather tolerates light rain; suede and canvas should be protected or avoided in heavy water.

A cobbler can stretch that exact spot, or you can use shoe-stretch sprays and trees.
