These trainers look lovely and have a nice soft lining. Nice heel height. When they arrived I was keen to try them on and the first thing I did when taking them out of the box was to undo the zip to slip them on. However, I could not get the zip to move and thought it was a fault. After a trying for a bit, I realised that there was some stitching across the zip on the inside that prevents it from opening. WOW! What a disappointment! When a zip is not a zip, it is for show only!! Serves no purpose and the trainer would look better without it. Would have been good if it worked, would have saved tying laces but it’s pointless. Take off the zip and reduce the sale price. I considered returning. Did keep them in the end, but it took the shine off. It was not made clear in the description that the zip was non functional.
