I was excited to get these after reading very positive reviews. They arrived, I put them on, and immediately things didn't feel right.

The right shoe was pressing on the top of my foot in an unpleasant way. I took the shoe off and examined it - the base of the tongue where it was sewn to the toe-box had a hitch in the fabric or the internal padding where it balled up and pressed against the top of my foot. I attempted to flatten it out, but the issue seems to be in either how the tongue was sewn on or how the tongue's internal foam or padding is.

A quick glance at the shoes and you can see the molding on the shoes is just completely flawed.

I didn't get a chance to try these out yet because they arrived with defects. The defects are so obvious that they speak to the overall quality assurance oat Brooks.
