ReactX Pegasus Trail 5 Running Shoe (Men)

I have no idea how people think these are good shoes. The tongue of the shoe is sewed into the side of the shoe probably to help with the water resistant nature but what it creates is this completely inelastic band across the top of your foot which is absolutely agonizing. Like, the most unbelievably uncomfortable trash shoe I've ever seen someone sell for money. It's worse when you're not moving and slightly less noticeable when walking. My friend got the same pair of shoes for a hike trip we were on and noticed the exact same thing. I had to literally cut the shoe with a knife to release the band of tension over my foot. I had a huge red mark across. my foot from the pressure. I have completely normal sized and shaped feet, and they fit the length and width of my feet just fine. This has never been a problem before. Horrible design, fire the people who made this awful shoe.
