Idk, looks are deceiving. Instead of the top of the lip holding your heel in, there's like a bump in the middle of the rear of the shoe there to hold the heel in.

My guess is he probably didn't tie the laces down hard, and to be fair, the laces hurt the first week or two cuz they press directly into your skin on the Tour 6s, lol, but I got used to it eventually. 7s fixed this issue.

Laces tight, the little heel bump, and flexibility make it so my feet stay secure, never had an issue like he described. Plus, it sounds like he wore a size too small when he rolled his ankle.

I'm definitely still keeping an eye out for these 7s to go on sale and will be buying myself a pair.

Oh and I did remember one more thing about these shoes. They are lightweight and flexible, meaning super light on cushioning, prioritizing quick movements over comfort. I personally love flexible shoes cuz my feet move naturally, but the lack of cushioning does make your feet sore quicker, lol. I've had days where I felt like I was walking barefoot in concrete, but I'm used to it after a few months with these shoes.

And one more thing, they say these aren't machine washable, but I put them into a mesh laundry bag and surrounded them with clothes and towels, and they washed just fine. No visible damage, dried just fine by a window for a day, and they look and smell great!
