They have a double "capsule" (provides durability) at the end for fastening, they untie very quickly, a tight fit with a click, somewhat hard leather but of good quality and a slightly rigid sole. The insole is not anatomical and does not absorb shocks (it needs some extra), a very thick tongue that does not hurt you with the tightness of the laces. Quiet when walking but a bit tiring (they are still stiff) and I hope this improves. I bought them for "in-between" meaning until winter comes and I start wearing boots, they are still a bit "rigid" which is why I don't give them more stars. Note: I took them to a machine at the shoemaker's to stretch them a bit, I also applied seal oil, unfortunately they are still hard and I noticed that the skin does not breathe properly.
