Overall, the shoe is nice. I would like a little wider toe box and not so much of a pointed toe box, but I kinda knew it was going to be like that going in. I guess the biggest issues I have are with the construction.The first issue I have is that in the design, the lide has a leather panel that is sewn into it just outside of the lace lines. When I lace up one of the shoes, I can feel that sew point digging into the top of my foot a bit. I thought it was from the laces, but no, its just the way its designed and made. The other one is the little metal insert in the eyelet second from the top. Just make them all the same, I don't need one set of metal eyelets.As for traction, they are awesome!! This was my first pair of spikeless shoes, and I was concerned with grip, and these have it in bunches. I have not had one foot slip since I got them. If they could make them with a wider toe bok, and fix the junction spot on the top of the shoe to remove the pressure point, they would be perfect.. Would I buy them again, probably not, but they keep my feet dry and keep me in place, so they aren't all bad.
