Purposely bought this for the protection(weather, rain, durability and so on. I dont consider myself to have slim ankles so I would say the straps could do with more adjustment capability. On the delivery front, the dress arrived three days after I put my order in, so I am impressed with the speedy service. At $14. A second HDMI input would have been perfect, but most systems that include one are twice the price of this system. I find the construction strange every time I lace them up, then forget it completely once Im moving. Have been getting compliments on them all day too! The microphone overall is very clear but very sensitive as well, and I love the mute feature on the mic when you put it in the upright position. They are really comfortable, and fit perfect. These shoes fit the bill in every way.
