Review on Get Your Skating Game On with Osiris Men's Clone Skate in Black". by Todd Lowry

they come without lacing and you have to tie them yourself and if you're a perfectionist like me it takes a good hour and changes Osiris were always pre-laced very precisely from the Journey Store. I had to lace them up and unlace them up and lace them up again because I couldn't find the right style, and there's room in the heel to lace up too. they should be a little firm so your foot doesn't lift off when you walk in your shoes. However, I also advise/negate/order ordering a half size smaller as in my experience with the type of plastic it's made of, the stress of a tight fit means it's more likely to tear over time when tightened and wears out. I learned this the hard way with the very first pair I bought many years ago. I never want to be that uncultured person who wears a bow on her hi-tops and I couldn't in my life figure out how to tie them without tucking the extra ends of the laces into the shoes, but I will tolerate they are so hot. Pair them with blue jeans and a white t-shirt for a minimalist yet stylish outfit.
