Its easy to tell these are made much better than my previous sets. I have it inside another slipper since it was so thin and I have hardwood floors. Anyway, Im wearing them right now about to go to the beach in Galveston. The desk stand is sturdy and heavy enough to stay in place. My sons eczema was improved after a few days and completely gone in two weeks! But their actually red and they look awesome. With these hooks I can easily get my mountain bike wheel on to them. Don?t recommend, burns armpits after a few days of use. Overall not too disappointed with the price. Ocean blue made in italy für gute acht eur.
