And for that reason. I use for the commute and exercise / jogging and also at work for online meetings on Teams and Zoom etc. Im a mean mom and my kids shoes (even sandals unless we are dressing up) need to be close toed and have straps to actually stay on. And I would pay $60-90 for a better quality material pair thats made for outdoor use, and this company would make a fortune if they did that, in my opinion. The weight of the PowerBeats Pro case pulls down and tends to stretch the lower cover when the hook is attached (like to a backpack). Note these are 90 degree plugs, some people may prefer straight plug, but I like the beefy 90 degree connector on these. This fitflop shoe is very stylish and comfortable. The product looks great, feels nice and should hold up. I wear a true size 8. I would suggest using power tools to tighten up every screw - do that and it will feel nice and secure.
