Sound quality did improve slightly after break-in but bluetooth kills richness. It?s the perfect length when layered with another 16 in necklace like I did in the picture. (Theyve made other rubber soles in the past but in my experience, this sole has more grip, is softer and looks the best. My only problem with the shoe is that that the velcro by the ankle is SO narrow and short. The volume control on the Sangean needs to be gripped with thumb and index finger to operate, and the tuning dial on the front is workable, but not my cup of tea. spices arent worth a dollar. My daughter wears a 6 1/2 and her 7 fit perfectly. I am currently suffering from Mortons Neuroma on my left foot but these little sandals take the pressure off. Dopo un mese e mezzo di utilizzo uso lo in casa il rivestimento dell infradito si è scollato. For the price this is totally worth it.
