Following the previous review I have regarding concerns. The laces had but these were unfounded! Bin full and satisfied. The laces do not tear and do not go by itself to easy, so all ok. One has only to concerns that are made of leather, that is, when you put on very firm regularly, then it can happen, of course, that the thin strips of leather tears at some point. But at normal USAGE I can not imagine it.
The shoe itself is a dream. Design is a matter of taste (I like it) but the sole .... the sole, I can only congratulate to Ecco. Light, comfortable and never pain in the feet, even after hours of walking.
The price was fair for me and I can recommend the shoe without restriction. Therefore, the 5 star more than deserved!
