I will purchase them again if I need to in the future. They also have a really nice tread on the bottom. dont buy. I have to attribute this to sloppy workmanship. Excellent sound quality, my son wants a pair too! It is very sturdy and looks good, for a great price. Luckily I was standing in the kitchen when they finally slipped off, I caught one and by some miracle the other one landed on a kitchen towel. I only wish theyhad more padding under the heel area of the foot to make them that much more comfortable because after wearing them for awhile it is not as comfortable on the heel. instruments, drums, etc. This means that my seat - an SMP Well - is just about as far forward as it can go on the seat post.
