I bought the Geometric model and its more gorgeous in person Thats really what matters most. Looks/fits just like shown. Also sind es die MID A. The STUDIO is more expensive and heavier, though. Update: I am now seeing the same issue with the laces- the material is cheap and not up to the standards of my previous Keens. Very comfortable, good quality, elegant, I bought then for Hajj in Makka and for my sailboat slip resistant, look nice in white. A lot of people just dont know what they should look for. I often have trouble with the wire clamps at my gym. Both color-coded and resistance level written in pounds on each band.
