I thought these shoes would be awesome. I think the quality of workmanship and materials are excellent. However, I simply CANNOT FORGIVEN one fatal flaw in this product. The laces are tied into the holes. The laces have so much friction that it takes about 2 minutes to put one shoe on. This is absolutely TERRIBLE as you essentially have to change your shoes every time you decide to wear them. The friction is so strong that you can't even pull your tongue back to untie the laces. I would never buy again. Kujo, please fix this issue. You really should eyelet all the lace holes!
