Love the shoes but be aware, that compared with the more classic shoe-lace style
Chuck Taylor, the grommet for the strap to fold through is pretty large and is located right near the natural bend of the toe/midfoot. Thus, in my son, it was not comfortable in that spot immediately and he wanted to return them for the same color shoe with laces instead of the
velcro. I pushed on it from the inside and could definitely feel a lot of pressure from the metal grommet through the
canvas tongue...wanted to love these due to the speedy
velcro, but need to exchange.
