"I was so excited to get these but they are a little awkward. The shoe laces are actually a really thick leather and regular lace length so tucking them in/hiding them like the stock photo shows, is pretty impossible unless you size up because they take so much room from being so thick. I tried to take the laces out and they fit perfect but I like the leather. They just didn't work for me so I returned them. I'm super bummed."
