Extra wide ---> Are you kidding me? First of all, you can't call a shoe very wide if you have a narrow entry into a shoe with enough stretch to fit. . Second, there are no laces here, these are elastic cords used as laces. (?) This is ABSOLUTELY NOT AN EXTRA WIDE boot as it does not have an easy/wide boot entry. I couldn't tell if the boot itself was very wide because I couldn't fit inside. Strange. There are also no regular show laces. I'm sending them back.
