Nope no probs with sewed in battens, most hikers have 'em non removable. Pro wnnabe, your old hikers must have been non-existant if they didnt help!

those hikers may look good but they are s**t i had a pair and they always sliped round to the sides of your legs so they didnt do any thing and they wore out so much the battens fell out in half a season. get a pair of rooster 3/4 lengths can't beat them
