These came as advertised and in a timely manner.  What I didn't like was the tear in the elastic band (which functionally replaces shoelaces) on the right shoe.  This causes the my right heel to come out of the shoe when I walk simply because the shoe is not tight enough.  There is also a tear in the piece of canvas on the left shoe that holds the grommets.  When I walk the hole opens up on the side of my foot.

I'm wearing these because I'm in Afghanistan and have no other sneakers to use until the replacement set I ordered from another vendor arrives.  Returning these would not be practical as it involved significant bother and cost using the military postal system.  If the vendor had sent a non-defective pair of sneakers in the first place there would be no reason for this bad review.
