I just hope they do not stop making this style. I gagged and winced when I hit the buy now button, hating myself for spending $17 on a earbuds case for the case. Only 1 1/2 " heel, just perfect! However, if you plan to use it all day I would be sure to purchase something with a much longer battery life. I chose to ?grinch? them out based on one of my favorite pair of sneakers, the Nike Kobe 6 Grinch. During the worst flare up I?ve ever had it got so bad I couldn?t walk due to foot and knee swelling and pain. If you do not wish to destroy the product, please indicate so now for alternative options. The zipper is very sturdy and covered to protect any gaps from the weather, but (and this is my only complaint) the zipper was somewhat difficult to pull and to get around the corners of the bag. LOVE this. The are in fact perfect.
