This is the second time purchasing the exact same sneaker. The first pair was great, but this pair was not the same sneaker. The tongue is much shorter than the first pair I've bought and does not pull up as high as what is pictured. I hope this makes sense but the tongue only pulls up to about a half inch of the top lace inlet, or where the sketchers name is on the shoes tongue in the photo. If that makes sense. So what happens is the tongue always slips underneath the laces when wearing and its a pain in the ***. I rarely wear them for that reason and will not buy another pair..
