The only thing I don't like is that the stitching is visible on the inside of the shoe, which will cause me some trouble in the future. The seams are deformed on the toe of one shoe and on the outside of the other shoe, and this can be seen even with a leather sole. I'm also not a huge fan of the pre-damaged look of the midsole, but that's my personal preference and there's nothing a little Angelus varnish can't fix. But the laces have the same coverage as leather and the color is right, and while they give you a little more room, they're incredibly comfortable and I can walk in them all day with no issues. I would order them in red, white, yellow or any other color because they look great and are very comfortable when you have a long day of walking and being leather they can easily last many miles on them.
