I love the way these look, but the komodosport feels way better. This is my fourth pair of Vibes and I am never going back to the conventional sneakers, but I will stick to another type. I like the lace look, but the comfort of these shoes is why I like them and this one is slightly uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong if they were my first pair I'd still be amazed, but the komodosport spoiled me. I would recomend these to anyone that likes the five toes but wants a conventional look. Others pairs look so unique you are constantly being asked about them.
