What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—lace design causing circulation issues—aligns with the tongue/lace attachment construction complaints in reviews.
In their words
“Alright last Christmas I got these shoes. They not only looked good but the feel is incredible. The cushion is perfection. I bought another pair for work over the summer. Then I bought another pair for more color options because I wear them everyday pretty much if I'm not wearing airforce or my 270s.”

“Shoe laces are a big design mistake! The way the laces are designed, they are limited in length (foot size : length ratio is off) and are also made of different material than traditional laces which makes the pressure of the laces more acute. For those people whose feet tend to swell a bit whether after intense exercise or in hot weather, this shoe lace design cuts off circulation.”
