Come to find out they are the Steve Maddens and she says they are falling apart and hurt her feet plus were so much more expensive. After returning the initial headphones, I got a replacement set and theyre awesome. I did not run into the issue of the buckle digging into my skin. It was time for an upgrade from the pile of shoes on the ground. And thats it. I am very disappointed as I initially thought I had found a product that was comfortable and performed well. Looks good fits like a glove just needs to come up a little higher over the screen but it looks good All in all I think it is a good product , I would not use them for work , but for working out or calling a friend I would definitely recommend . I had terrible cell service at my house and when I started working from home it became a priority to solve. The product description above claims that these slippers are genuine suede.
