This shoe is great for workouts.  The only problem is the velcro.  There isn't enough to wrap around the ankle for support, just like all other shoes.  I've had this problem for years.  I have big feet but small ankles.  I would think someone would come up with a better solution by now.  I had to improvise and cut a strip of velcro for each shoe to make an extension to get the right fit I needed.  I get tired of doing this with every shoe brand.  The part that gets me the most is that shoes with laces for people with big feet are much longer than necessary.  I would always have to cut them to the size where I won't trip when I walk. I mention this because I bought laced shoes from Propet as well and, just like everyone else, they seem to believe that the longer the shoe, the longer the laces, when in fact is not proportional.  I wish someone would take the time and count up the eyelets on the shoe and compare them to smaller shoes.  Then maybe they can see that there is no difference.
