I loved these shoes; my 6 year old LOVED these shoes. I ordered many sets of these . box damaged but got a good deal on the piece. I have subsequently purchased a pair of SoundPEATS for about $38. I recycle all my pods. The shoes did not arrive with the exact same color pattern for the butterflies. Ive ordered 2 sets and had the same problem. Also, when paring and connected, each earbud outputs a blinking white light, letting you know they are ready to pair and connected. But overall, i would recommend them. I haven?t used them enough to run the battery down, but would definitely buy again
