I could not fit my foot into the opening without great struggle.  Once I did, the length was fine (size 9.5 mens).  However, the width was far too narrow even with the lacing system completely loosened.  In addition, the entry opening does not open at all (on most lace up shoes the laces can be loosened and the tongue pulled open to allow for easier foot entry) making it near impossible for me to fit my foot into the shoe.  In fact, I could not get the left shoe on at all and my right foot was quite uncomfortable with the narrow width.  I think the entry system is poorly designed and cause for a low rating.  Other construction seems to be well built.  I wish it would have fit me.<br /><br />If you have a narrow foot and a low arch, this might fit you and you might be quite happy with the shoe.  I don't, I'm not, and I'm returning it.<br /><br />Good luck.
