I find it hard to find a pair of tims I like in any retail store. When I saw these, I knew they were the ones for me, but I went back and forth between these and some cheaper ones that were pretty similar. I eventually went with my gut and spent the extra $30 on these bad boys. I'm pretty dissapointed with these. For the price, I was expecting quality. When I received them, they just felt...flimsy. I guess without seeing them in person I wouldn't have known. They look GREAT in the photos I saw. And I'm not saying the photos are misleading, it's just they really don't capture the lack of thickness and support. You don't get alot of that from these. Tims run a bit bigger than the size you usually wear. No matter how tight I tie these, the lace comes undone and they swing off my feet like I'm wearing salad bowls. What confused me was even though they were clearly too large, the area where the tongue lies was too tight and would brush sharply against the bridge of my foot. I wore them once and I'm returning them. Even if I had gotten the right size, they're just not worth the price.
