I absolutely love these but they're just a little too snug for me. They are an older model, but have only been worn about half a dozen times. They are in excellent condition, only real sign of wear is that a few white trim areas on the tongue are discolored from contact with snow pants. The lace protector, and laces themselves, have no wear- and the ultra fast tightening and loosening with this system is amazing, you'll never go back to normal laces.
