This shoe is poorly designed for easy entry. I've had a couple of these shows every year for almost 30 years. I loved these shoes. Easy to put on, easy to take off, comfortable and versatile. But for some reason the 1990s design needs to be changed in 2022. These shoes are SHIT. They are difficult to reach. They made some stupid changes. I still have my old pair and they are much easier to put on. I don't know why they changed the design but it ruined these shoes.
