Idk about everybody else, but I wasn’t able to tie up the lace twice like the photos show. It really only ties around to have one X instead of 2, but it comes loose and undone if you don’t double knot it. So truly you can only wrap it around once, with no X, creating a big nasty knot in the front.These shoes are very flat and only made of the material, doesn’t have any support. No flat wood piece under the shoe, or flat any piece under the shoe. It feels like walking barefoot. If ur into that, it’s good I guess.It fit great with my Halloween costume, ichigo kurosaki, femme version. I would probably wear them to the beach if I were to wear it again. Otherwise I don’t think these look well for regular clothes, imo. They’re very fit for costumes
