Sounds is a little bit quiet. when kids are yelling or screaming around the house the sound breaks, sounds kind of like screeching static. I didnt feel steady walking in them inside on a wood floor, and felt like I would easily roll my ankle if walking outdoors or even walking at a faster rate. Really cheap product. Most people would assume the upper was cloth. I bought two belts because I couldn?t decide between a lever style and this type. Colore bello e abbastanza morbide Love this light weight Chunky Heel. I want to love them for how cloud like the step is but unfortunately they cant be worn very long without the strap digging into the top of my foot and leaving scratches between my toes. OMG these stink so bad !
