I just received these and they are really, really nice for the $15 or so I paid for them.  I ordered a 10W and they fit perfectly, which was a nice surprise because even Ws can be tight on my foot.  This one had some room in the toe box!  The elastic strap across the inner vamp is just perfect.

My box did NOT include ANY shoelaces at all, either on the shoe or separately enclosed.  There was a smudge of dirt across the toe of one shoe, so my guess is that they'd been tried on before and that person kept any shoelaces enclosed.  I was kind of bummed, but it's actually okay because I can use something decorative.  If the shoe *needed* laces to stay on, I couldn't do that because shoelaces normally take a lot of strain.  But because the elastic holds the shoe on securely by itself, I can use colorful ribbon, stretch lace, yarn, whatever I like without fear of snapping it during regular wear.  Great way to change the look of a classic, simple shoe.  Love it!
