The EU43 DMs have replaced my sneakers for daily wear during the winter here, funnily enough. They are not the most comfortable shoes, I have to admit(If only they were sold in EU44...), but I have mostly been wearing them with both indoor socks and thick wool socks for the heat. They are a lot more comfortable in thin socks or tights and will hopefully get better as I wear them in. BUT those soles just grip everything, even black ice like it was covered in sticky tape.
These were to big for my wife, actual EU44's, so after having them in our closet for ten years she handed them over to me, just for fun to try on, and they sort of fit so I kept them. I've been wearing them indoors to get them to adapt to my feet, which is going quite well, so I'll probably wear them out once the ice is gone.
