Some have Recommended using Rivets In Their Stead. Bench is perfect and good for price, very nice quality. I feel I will never stop adding to this as I keep thinking of new uses. I could not even get my foot in them without over half the Velcro exposed. I started looking at reviews for the Sony SRSX55 and was encouraged by reviews that captured what I was looking for in a Bluetooth speaker. They squeak ?? AM. Letting the headset sit without sound turns it off as well, which is fine, if it didnt constantly cause this issue on turning it back on. Am disappointed in these slippers and sending them back this week. They never disconnect until you disconnect them.
