DO NOT BUY. These shoes have Quality issues.   1st pair = one speedhook broke off the very first time I tried to loop a lace around it 2nd pair = left side has a crease, as if I stood on my tippy-toes for days with it on  I'm in a wheelchair, so standing on my tippy-toes I did not. Even if I had, I'd noticed the crease the second day, so I wore - mis-wore for argument's sake - for less than 10 hours... yet there's a permanent visible crease? No, sounds like cheap material/bad quality. Do not buy.  I'd exchange them if these were not my second pair and I was afraid of how bad the defect was with the third. Really saddening, being in a wheelchair I need little more than something to merely cover my feet, and chose these because they were the only highish-top shoes I liked the look of. Thought Columbia was a high grade brand, but personally I'm going to abstain from buying any of their products from now on.   **EDIT**: The 2 reviews before mine also mention quality issues - lol. Case closed.  **UPDATE**: After 7-10 uses, a different speedhook broke. RETURNING. DO NOT BUY.
