I agree with the shoestring issue everyone mentions. They are also difficult to get tight which is critical for me since I have a narrow foot. As a result the shoes slips more than it should and I don't beleive I could correct with a smaller size because they would not fit. The heel comes up high on the foot which mostly just makes it noticeable. It doesn't cause a problem but I don't like to wear shoes that make me think about the shoe. I also think they rather heavy. All said for the price they are acceptable. I don't walk much at work so they are okay but if I did I don't think I would keep the shoes even for the price.
