The tongues are thin and don’t offer much protection from the shoelaces digging into the top of your foot. Once broken in they are comfortable and awesome!

Don’t get me wrong, I purchased these shoes as a replacement for my last pair of Timberlands that wore out way too fast, and these were half the price. A great affordable waterproof hiking shoe, but if you had…
