Review on Hush Puppies Bridgeport Chukka Unisex Shoes for Boys by Knate Scarpelli

I am an adult with small feet and find it difficult to find men's models my size in stores. I bought a pair of Hush Puppies in various styles from Revain about a year and a half ago and they still look great and are still very comfortable (they were that way straight away). Same chukka size fit perfectly and the shoe was just as comfortable from day one. The leather upper is surprisingly soft, but keep in mind that the leather isn't polished, but more of a matte black, which I think looks quite nice. I'm giving them 4 stars for two reasons: 1) I haven't had them long enough to judge their durability, and 2) they have ridiculously long and unattractive laces (easy to untie for $1 at Walmart). With so much attention to design, materials and workmanship, did Hush Puppies choose the wrong laces?
