Shoes were very light, not as comfortable as expected. The laces didn't tighten when pulled. The bottom of the boots had no support at all. The price was very affordable but you get what you pay for. And as you say, I'm not talking about buying myself more expensive "hey man" shoes because it's the same shoe but in a different style, so go and shell out more money if you're into your feet for want to invest in comfort. Shoes.
