The quality of these mocs is terrible! I tried to retie the top laces and the laces easily fell apart in my hands. it looks like rawhide laces but they are not. I tried to remove the laces and they came out in little pieces. I had to use tweezers to pull pieces out. I replaced them with real raw hide laces. The shoe top lacing appears to be the same junk and I doubt they will hold up any better.
