This is my 3rd pair of pairs of these walking shoes in about 8 or 9 years. They are still a great shoe in terms of support, but the shoe's tongue is a problem in half of the pairs. Let me explain.My first pair were great... except the V-Straps were too long. My next pair of pairs, the tongue of the left shoe of one of the pairs kept slipping over to the side and, frankly, looked ridiculous.My newest pairs are a mixed bag again. Brooks has shortened the V-Straps, now - TOO MUCH. Now, they are too short. And now, a new tongue problem with one of the shoes. The tongue slides down and pouches out between the lower and upper V-Straps. I've finally had it. I will buy the lace-up pairs from here on.Brooks, please fix the problems!
