I wanted to keep these sneakers! They are very well-made. The toe box is spacious. However, the tongue rides very high up and rubs against my ankle. I don't have very thin or thick ankles, just average. I want to wear low socks for summer, but the tongue is even higher than the sock! I switched to higher socks and loosened the laces, but no luck. I don't think the Kourts are high volume. I LOVE my Lems Chelsea boots, but these low tops are a problem. Also, when the package arrived, one corner of the box was completely squashed. Fortunately, the shoes were not damaged. The are going back
