I found the grip on my head just about right and wouldnt want it any firmer and this was an important factor for me in choosing between the edition and pro version (the pro version is stated as having a much tighter grip). I have a mixture of wood colors in my bathroom and the boards I received have a lot of variation. My heel is exactly where it should be but the toe area is a tad short. The socks looks okay, but the nike symbol is turned the wrong way on every (right foot) sock The game itself is excellent. House shoes. Very bad design The only critiques I have are that setting up can be a little confusing, a feature of having the sound only play from one ear or another by connecting only one earphone on Bluetooth seems a little unnecessary, especially made more confusing as they are all named the same when you look to connect the device, its very much unneeded as you can just turn one off and it seems to make no difference, this did also cause some confusion to begin with when setting up as I thought one earphone was broken but As for feel, the insole of the Toms isn?t where the softness comes from, rather it?s from the actual sole of the shoe. The actual heel height of these is 4 1/4 " and the platform is 3/4".
