I also wore my Copas like Ricardinho_uk7. The feel better like that IMO. Actually seeing this thread with Copas brings back terrible memories! I had never-ending problems with mine. First the tongue broke, then they got replaced, and they were unbelievebly UNcomfortable! They made the sides of my feet go into pins and needles, and cramp and ache sooo much. Then they over-streched, and the sole separated, and got hooked in the ground and nearly sprained my ankle! By far the worst boot I have ever worn!
