this was a nice looking skirt but if you are sweating, the sequin bangles will bleed ink all over you and may stain your skin. There is no way the j-hooks could hold 300lbs let alone a 1000. i do not have particularly wide feet or a high arch, and have NEVER had this problem with this brand before. This is just amazing! They stay in whole day without moving and losing placement. Ill have to take my business elsewhere for the quality I crave from what Sperry used to be. The microphone is able to pick up peoples voices from quite a distance away. Bikes on the floor, in the way. Comfy I wear a 10. I am only giving it 3 because of the fit.
