Between the item description and the reality there is a gap. First, the shoes are heavier than the description of suspect secondly the sole is stiffer than expected (textile midsole, S1P). The laces are so long that I had to replace it, you can wander around the joints so long they are. However, it is now even loafers and no boots. One of the top, but stop mindless laces hacking is already broken. But since I do not use this bothers me at all. Overall, the shoe is okay, only I had at the price expected a little more clothes to buy next time determines other.
