I survived Gila, now i am back in California getting refreshed for the big east coast swing leading up to Philly.

One bit of feedback i have so far on the shoes is that they feel way more secure when i use the extra hook across the top fo the tongue. When i dont use the extra hook the tongue always slips to the outside. When i do, they feel so much more secure and tight. BUT when i have them looped across the extra hook i cant take them on and off because they dont get loose enough, thats kind of a pain. Its more just the left shoe wont get enought slack, the right one does.

Other than that, the white ones that i have feel a little bit more roomy and boxy. THe red ones are are way more plush and soft feeling, not sure if thats just because they are broken in more.
