text: as MANY other reviewers have noted,<br />the upper velcro straps are WAY TOO SHORT<br />if you want to chew the bottom off your pant legs, this MIGHT be a plus,<br />for MY part, it cost three stars on the review,<br />the shoes aren't too bad, but the fact that the exposed velcro hooks chew on my pants lregs,<br />AND pick up grass and other debris while walking means that I will NOT be ordering this brand again<br />the manufacturer NEEDS to READ the reviews and make appropriate changes
