I have wanted a pair of the 20 eye for a long time and was really happy to get them.  They fit perfectly in the calf and foot and felt really comfortable.  However, when I went to lace them to the top to wear them - pulling as tightly as possible from the first eyes -  the laces were not nearly long enough and I cannot wear them unless I leave the top two eyes open.  Even when I pulled them as tightly as possible from the bottom up, I was only able to get it to the 18th eye and then was barely able to tie them.  I would think they would know to include the longest laces possible for this height of a boot. Has anyone else had this problem or did I get a pair with defective laces???
