I do not like that the tongue of this shoe is fully attached. It fits great except right at the top of the ankle where you tie them. Because of the tongue, a shoe that otherwise fits and is amazing, is too tight. I’ve worn them too many times to exchange or return them. Next step is to cut them down the tongue and add additional lacing to see if I can make it work for me.

I love these Embark Lace Sneakers. They are so light and comfortable. You do not have a 7.5 anymore. Please bring these shoes back!!!!!

Definitely need to size up a half a size, I went ahead and ordered my normal size (9) and they are very tight. I gave these to my daughter who wears an 8.5 and they fit her perfectly. I Took 2 stars off for the sizing reason however I am wondering if they stretch a bit so after she’s worn them In I’m going to give them another try.

I bought these because I'd warn two of the Embark Lace Shields and loved them, assuming it was just the same shoe with laces instead of the shield. It's not. The sizes of the shoe are not nearly as solid, more like a collapsible fabric, and they sit kind of weird on the sole so that my feet can actually feel the lip/edge of the sole while wearing the shoe. They also have zero arch support, and I don't feel stable while walking in them. After about a month or two of suffering through these (because I spent money on them), my feet hurt so badly that I have no choice but to stop wearing them altogether. I'm back to wearing the Embark Lace Shield instead. Can't believe they're so different. Perhaps they should rename these shoes as they're not much like each other.

I initially found these shoes to be very comfortable. Actual use while walking many miles during a vacation trip proved them to be less comfortable. Apparently the heel is too narrow for my foot and my foot tended to slip forward a little. By the end of the day my toes were uncomfortable from hitting the front of the shoe. Another really annoying issue was that the laces do not stay tied. I realize double knots would have worked, but when there was the issue of possibly having to take them off in security lines that didn’t make sense. The shoes are very light, which turned out to be a good feature as I carried them in my suitcase while wearing my trusty sandals.
