these shoes fit well. and I think they will last a long time, they also look pretty good and those are all pluses. minuses. The tongue sticks out a lot and the laces struggle to tighten them, so I feel like I'm a bit off when the tongue doesn't cover my socks and expose my leg. BIG problem, the back of the shoe is very sharp, I wore high socks and the back of the shoe cut the back of my foot in half a day. They are also very stiff at the bottom, my feet hurt pretty quickly so I slipped into an arch brace. I really hope that my problems will be solved over time and I wear them, but I will not buy them again.
