I've been wearing Prince sneakers for about 25 years. This is the first pair that I've had with a velcro closure. With my wide feet, the velcro loop strap does not completely cover the velcro hook section. With part of the hook section uncovered, it has a tendency to catch on loop-type items (including shoe laces) that brush across it.
Other than that, the sneakers are great. I especially like the way Prince sneakers fit and the lateral support that they provide.
