I am happy with my choice. I also plan to use them for recital and competition for next year. Try to make your stuff even in the bag. The shoes themselves are perfect and have the correct tags and branding inside. I was told it was out of warranty and to get with Amazon to see if they can send me another one at which I explained I already spoke to them and they said it?s out of warranty and to contact you guys. I think I hit a wall (famous last words?). The sandal is prettier in person and is very soft. The audio voice prompts are heavily accented, nothing wrong with that, and the L and R are reversed apparently. it works. The directions could be better and the hardware is not labeled very well.
