The shoemaker can be asked to make one extra lace hole in the shoe. It shouldn't be an expensive operation, and it's definitely worth it, as loose shoes are nasty :-(

Would the tapes be worse than the old model? I had to tighten the straps really tight so they stayed. Otherwise, for the first time on the foot, the straps opened about every 100 meters so there was room for improvement in the straps. Even if enabled, that thing would change. I have to come back to this later when I have really tested these.
Brent on Oct 18, 2018: "Wanted to get this out there since it may be sometime before I hit a trail with these shoes. As expected the quality appears to be very good. Attention to detail and craftsmanship is obvious. The shoe is well shaped, the sides are rounded instead of just going at a 90 deg angle. The toe box is similar in shape to Vivobarefoot. The opening of the shoe is longer which makes getting into them easy. Plenty of room for a high instep and the lacing systems is cool. The outsole looks like it should do well on the trails. Overall a great fitting shoe and very comfortable while maintaining a good ground feel for the stack height. It's nice to know that Lee Saxby had input to the design of the shoes as he's a biomechanics professional. So a few dings since no shoe I own is perfect. The laces are a tad long and they don't have a really good grip. The tab on the heel is pretty worthless and I suspect JN did this for aesthetics vs function. Even if the tab was functional I wouldn't need to use it. Then finally the performance insole is actually really heavy and it's noticeable, so while I like the feel I don't like the weight of them. My rating is 4.5 out of 5."
