Personally I am delighted with this, although I remain concerned following the many comments on the strength of lacing. Meanwhile, the comfort is excellent, the foot is really airy and the grip is very good, making it a good shoe for cycling or walking, even on steep terrain. However, I doubt that the foot support is sufficient to big hikes, even compared to other low cuts because the lacing is not firm enough. In any case, I am very satisfied with this model that really has meaning and interest, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing to my taste.
