They took their time arriving (around 4 weeks) - but with so many delivery stages Im prepared to forgive that. I had to jerry rig the kit by swapping the 6-inch pipe with one of the 9-inch side pipes. I took away one star for the directional nub on the bud. Going back for a refund. These are the best sandal/slides Ive purchased! I used it as a VERY light topper over an Urban Decay Vice comfort matte lipstick and it was PERFECT. The shoes are fabulous! I installed 2 of these in my workplace, which is a lab in a big metal building. I have used it a few times and am loving it. I had it together-by myself- in less than 35 minutes!
