I recently received LANGBAO Men's Walking Shoes Casual Comfortable Running Shoes Gym Fashion Sports Sneakers 7036-1 Tan 11. The shoes were packed in a separate shoe box within the outer box, giving them extra protection. At first glance, the shoe looks like a good casual shoe, versatile enough for use in the office or in the gym. Light brown leather upper with beige mesh front. I put them on and instead of laces, they had an elasticated drawstring waist with a pull tab that you pinch to open and slip through the elastic drawstrings to tighten (much like a jacket can be pulled tighter at the bottom). So I started tightening the strings by pulling the strings through the reed while squeezing it. Apparently I pulled too hard because one of the strings snapped off the reed. I was able to adjust to this by holding each string in my hand while continuing to tighten until I had a good fit. I like the portability and easy access with the tongue and pull, but it feels a little flimsy. I have worn them several times and they seem very comfortable and attractive. As I said before I think these shoes are really versatile and can be used in a variety of conditions but I don't think I will be using them for running as I don't think this is the type of shoe that I would use. for this purpose. All in all a really good shoe that is worth its reasonable price.
