I wear a size 8 and ordered the 7. Original leather lasted about a month. Be were that this is not the actual beats cord. From my recent experience, if sandal has no back I may try an 8. Suitable for making bracelets only, as youd need a larger quantity of each color to make a necklace, unless you intend to mix several colors together. Amazing clogs, look and feel great. Amazing dounding sounds wayyy bettervthan my bosse round rube one the bass on the bugani is amazing hopefully itll hold up and. they are garbage and save your money. They come with various sizes of covers to fine tune the fit and I found a size that keeps them very secure and comfortable in my ears. If you have very little patience, then yes, youre going to struggle with them.
