The Spider is a good shoe, but a bit on the expensive side. Its relly comfortable when you get the lacing done to fit your feet. It has hugely oversized tongues, which feels wierd at first, but does a great job of protecting you from getting rub marks on the top of your feet where the edge of the shoe meets the skin. You still get the trademark Boreal fart from the heel when you walk around alot in them on hot days. Excellent shoe for edging, but also worked really nice smearing at J-Tree. Double loops on the heel make them easy to get on and off. Love em.
