So let me start buy saying the shoe box these shoes came in sucked. They only sent me half of the box, and no lid. They shoes came in a clear plastic bag. When I opened the back it looked like there was dust/or dirt on the shoes. Probably from where they were packing them. The shoes honestly look like they were dropped before they were packed. But nothing some light cleaning won't fix I guess.The shoes are very comfortable. I have a wide foot but with no laces to worry about my foot feels very comfortable in them. The tongue on the shoe isn't loose, I has a stretch band on the inside to keep it in place. The materials on the shoe are all high quality which is what I expect from Nike. These shoes are high tops so they are above the ankle. So if you have shorter legs, you might jot like th way they look on. I'm saving these for fall/winter to wear with pants. But I definitely recommend water proofing them.
