Men's Lace Up

The insole wasn’t glued down, which for some people might be nice if they want to replace it. On these the insole is SO COMFORTABLE. Probably the most comfortable on any shoe I’ve ever owned. But it also grips really strong so when you tie the laces to slip the shoes on and off it bunches up at the end. Maybe that’s just a me problem. But for the price point to have to glue the insole into the shoe seems a bit silly. The leather also seems to wrinkle really quickly but after that initial wrinkle it has held up pretty well. I’d definitely recommend them if it’s something you can afford. I don’t see them being a daily wearable shoe for more than a year.

I've had several pairs of the Lace Up in white over the last few years and I've loved them. By comparison, my latest pair are disappointing. They still look great, uppers seem similar (if perhaps a bit stiffer than in past), and construction quality is very good -- overall still a nice sustainable white sneaker. But there's a new insole that's a real downgrade. It's a new material that's bad in multiple ways. First, the surface of the new insole not smooth, so it sticks to your socks and makes it harder to slide your foot in and out when putting on/taking off the shoes. When taking off, the insole buckles and slides out, needing to be manually reinserted. Worse, the new insole is much softer -- your foot really sinks into it. That sounds nice (and even feels nice initially), but in use the insole compacts down way too much when you step, ultimately providing much less support and making the shoe less comfortable to wear and walk in.

Simple, minimalist, yet aesthetically pleasing.

So comfortable and carefree cleaning
