"I ordered these cute boat shoes hoping it would be something plain and simple to use walking to work downtown. The shoes I received did not look like the photo online. The top of the shoe in the photo shows a criss-cross "lace" that is flat and no-fuss. The shoes I received had hard leather laces, tied in a bow like moccasin slippers. The laces did not tie tightly and did not look at all sleek and simple like I wanted in a boat shoe. I promptly returned these."
