With the snow we have recently gotten Ive noticed my feet are getting wet, they are still fairly comfortable and still have decent tread on them though, no large holes anywhere, they have held up extremely well! Inside material is not sticky but has no slide to it! I have owned these for 8 days, solely use them to take my dogs out to potty, and yet the stitching used to secure the top half to bottom half has already broke. The color is beautiful! I got a pair to wear in my Tia chi class. Sound is good and all and they are very pretty! Finally, after many back and forths with Plantronics CS the front line worker told me they would promote the issue to an engineer to look into. I did not bother to try size 14. Part of the reason its so cool is the ability to walk to the kitchen/bathroom without taking it off. Didnt come with cable ties, not the end of the world but would have been a nice touch and handy for those who dont have any at hand.
