Them ain't Rockys...they lace low on the top of your foot. I would've went with the Army studs.

You being a Russel man like me you should know that you always have to loosen up the very bottom laces to get them on and off...Russells are designed to be tightly laced.

Trust me you ain't going to like what happens when you lace them up good and tight and un zipp....


tOOOO late now. frown
