Very hot humid and sweaty. Will be ordering in black also! The shoes are velvet and kind of have a liquorice smell to them. They are by far the most comfortable sandals Ive purchased and its easy to spend whole days in them without any discomfort. I dont want to keep throwing old shoes into a landfill. I am not super practical when it comes to assembling stuff . I get them stolen by my almost 2 year old because she wants to cuddle with them. Sound stage. ???? ???? ???? Not bad, works ok, But not the best sounding.
