No problems from seller on returns. 1" is not from the center of the square as in the picture, its from the start of the piece all the way through. Running with the wife means I can just tap when we stop to talk. The design of these shoes is so simple, and so correct, they are like your favorite slippers! I cant wait to see my overall results in a few months. The price is pretty expensive and its better than nothing. Keep your wheels true and they last longer. Fabric is lovely and soft. Used hair dryer to make sure all alcohol was dried up. The quality is worth the extra money as they can sometimes last thru 3 kids.
