This is my third pair of NB trainers with no laces/toes. They're the regular width, but they feel wide - the tongue is pulled up and the top of the foot looks like it doesn't fit... because it doesn't fit. The laces are slipping. What about the pain part? The left side of the left shoe is so stiff that it puts pressure on the ankle and causes pain when walking. Don't sneakers have to be COMFORTABLE?! The first two pairs I had both wore out the soles pretty damn fast, the second pair had to be thrown out because the top lace loop broke. This will be the LAST pair I will be buying from NB.
