I had such high hopes. It is the key in the description. Therefore, Im keeping them because I wear an 11 and they dont come any larger and I want them. Most high end buds have this these days but CA isnt charging high end prices. I have plantar fasciitis and extremely flat feet. It only plays music out of one headphone and you have to hold it down for it to work. I prefer a weightier feel and a slightly larger lateral grip -- but again, for the price point it works well, seems well made, and works as advertised. Phone is quick, responsive, and I like the particular feel of this phones haptic feedback. Overall awesome shoe I wear an 81/2 most of the time but in Crocs I always wear an 8 and this time was no different.
