I'm a little disappointed in these shoes. I previously had the Leah black model and I LOVED them [They are no longer available in the houndstooth :( ]. My largest complaint about these is the tongue. It's so freaking flappy, like a lolling dog's tongue when panting, so the tongues flap when I walk with them turned down. I'd rather have the stiff tongue of the Leah and regular docs than this.

Aside from that, these are OK. I'm breaking them in and the pain point is the top of the foot. I think they look neat down or up. I wear them down mostly and I'd wear them up more, but I live in Texas and it's hot here. lol
