Utility All Terrain Chuck Taylor^® All Star^® Waterproof Sneaker Boot (Men)

I have worn these as work shoes for the last year. Very comfy and water resistant. However, these shoes have corded eyelets which run up through the regular brass eyelets, and the laces then run through the corded eyelets (see pics). This makes the laces long enough to wrap around the back of the shoe twice through a loop under the pull strap. This is great until these corded eyelets begin to BREAK (and they will). Once this happens you can simply cut the remaining corded eyelets off and re-lace the shoes through the regular eyelets, though the laces will no longer be long enough to wrap around the back of the shoe. Trust me...an eyelet will break right when you are in a huge hurry and don't have time to re-lace them, lol. Might not be a bad idea to simply lace them through the regular eyelets when you get them.
