Bought these to be house/gardening/camping shoes. This foot bed/last is excellent for comfort. I wonder if I received a pair from a bad batch from the factory. I leave the garden ones on a hook outside my back door and theyve never been effected by any of the elements. Fit great into the ears and stay put, even during my workout. The front brackets can be bent up or down to make a tighter tit, very easy to do. Free up garage floor space with this great bike hoist. The rack holds 9 pairs of size 13?s and 14?s with room. my husband assumed those where all my shoes. For some reason I thought there was three.
