So mainly got these for the sole change (softer rubber soles-theyre not soft theyre just more like typical rubber soles-but theyre not hard plastic). From the box, the case and the headphones all look very aesthetically pleasing. Bought these to replace my old moccasins from LL Bean, and was surprised that they?re pretty close! Advantages:- Easy to clean- Seemingly strong construction- Wide, good for wide feet- Comfortable for short periods of timeDisadvantages:The strap is too constricting for broad/tall feet; if you walk too long in them (particularly with socks if you wear those indoors or at your hotel), your feet will be pushed in and your blood flow will be impacted. My grandson loves them. Nice sound, and all is good. This shoe is by far the most comfortable heel I have ever owned! She works and works well. Im a big fan of Vionic footwear & these sandals dont disappoint. The design is useful when in use and allows time to charge the battery.
