My only complaint is the shoestrings. They are flat and not easy to loosen or tighten. A round lace or heavier duty flat lace would be much better. The loop on the tongue is on the upper part and does not let the laces move freely which makes the shoes harder to remove and also put on. I relaced the shoe and bypassed the loop which makes for an easier removal and allows the laces to tighten while tying.
