I blame UPS a little on this but recommend an upgrade to packaging for the company. If you install better screws and dont care if it stays in the down position, its okay. I have another pair of Quiksilver that are very comfortable and have a softer material that fits between your toes. Eyewear a 7 1/2 to a size 8 in shoes and the size 8 was a bit snug okay. Trying them out in dry weather, they attached really well and felt strong and secure. The material is 100% cotton, and its on the thick side. If you thought the 100ABN?s were good, they dont hold anything close to these. It was like walking on clouds. 5 foot but opted for smaller to make sure the fit was gonna hit the reflexology points. Otherwise I am pretty pleased with the appearance of them.
