Purchased these crocs in navy and grey . Other reviews seems to support a problem in that area, as I came to realize. Even though they are light, they dont feel or look cheap. It?s not enough to drop stars. ?? Happy wife happy life. This influenced me to purchase a second pair as Im afraid Im one of those people that always like to have a nice spare fresh pair of trainers . I may try to heat the plastic shields and bend them inward a bit to correct the issue. The quality is great and these headphones have been dropped etc numerous times but nothing has broken or snapped. Without those the shoes are unwalkable. Extremely well written, but gets bogged down in details starting at about 40% of the way through.
