text: Even with socks my ankle bleeds in these. The &#34;leather&#34; on the inside of the hole is so cheap. Can't wear them for an hour without pain.<br /><br />The lace is pretty cheap, the material is cheap, but that's just Van's. I ditched these and got the Sperry's Canvas shoes. Cost is the same and they look way better than these Van's. Maybe I just got the wrong type of Van's but I'm not happy with these.
