I bought these shoes because they look stylish and adidas. I have been involved with ADIDAS for over 15 years, from sportswear to socks to sneakers. I have never had any problems or complaints about anything before. I couldn't put my foot in these shoes. The tongue is attached to the boot. No flexibility to slide your foot. I couldn't even adjust half my foot. I exchanged them for another pair, thought and hoped it was a defect but it wasn't. I was beyond disappointed. You can buy and try them, but you've been warned. I gave 2 stars because they look sharp. And I'm still an ADIDAS fan!
