I purchased mine thinking I was getting the same slipper at a great price (albeit still steep for slippers). It would not be such a big deal for really small studs, but at 3/4 carat weight, imperfections in the stones can really start to show. Definitely sturdy and corners secure. I had to buy TWO sizes up with these shoes and they STILL didnt fit. All in all Im really pleased. Not as convenient but already feels like a far better design for looking after your airpods pro. For now amazing shoes and got it at a great bargain Brought for my daughter as a birthday present for the money they are good. if you thinking about it do it I love the way they fit and their support.
