I bought these because they use a Boa closure system which I really like. The size of these shoes is pretty good. They fit a little when you put them on if you have a high crotch and a little bit of toe room, but the boa fit is implemented well so you can make them as tight or loose as you like. My name is Quarl because I've had one of these for my morning walk for exactly six or seven months now and I'm almost completely exhausted.
