A little on the flimsy side! Hes got bunions & plantar fasciitis so its a tall order. One of the earrings fell out after a few days and when I finally found it, I discovered that I could no longer get it to latch, so I could no longer wear it. Great quality for sure. I think this rack is perfect. As far as sound is concerned, it?s the best performing TT I?ve ever used, and I?ve had quite a few. A neat and practical solution for many household uses. However, when I bought the regular width for these shoes, they turned out to be way too wide for my feet and all the tightest notches are still too big for the width. I bought the training wheels for my sons new bike. They are firm, not hard, supportive and the lining is soooo soft.
