The shoes are comfortable and inexpensive. The problem I had was the tip grabbed through one of the holes and ripped out. I didn't pull too hard on the tip and to be honest I was shocked when it snapped. I bought them less than a year ago and have used them about ten times. The quality of the material where the laces go is terrible. These shoes should have lasted much longer than the couple of times I've used them. Should have gone with Footjoy as I have in the past.
