nice and good quality I used to wear my crocks at the pool, but there is too much plastic on my feet. I plan to order another pair as my middle son starts kindergarten this year and we?ve had such a good experience with these. The tube that holds the weight plates comes with an olympic plate adapter (which I wanted since I have olympic plates and didnt want loose plates), and it has a cushion attached to the bottom so that the weight doesnt hit the floor hard. it is as described. (-) The rubber is pretty stiff; which hurts between my toes, and caused a blister on the side of one foot after a day. I was skeptical about the flat black paint as I?ve seen the OEM crossbars in silver and thought it may be a better look. Although the box was sealed, the paint on the ear muff support forks / harps was chipped in multiple places. 2 screw holes hide behind 1st and last hooks. Died after a few weeks.
