Im a New Yorker and literally got stopped on the street three times and given compliments within the first hour of wearing these. I gather I could have used some "very fine" sandpaper to smooth down the area (see picture) where tiny pieces of wood broke off to get stuck in my skin, but as these were only ten minutes out of the box - back into the box they go! I like that the insole comes out so easily, which allows for easy transitions to real minimal running. Unplugging the headphones and mashing the buttons about a hundred times seems to resolve it (for maybe 20 minutes or so) but I suspect that wont bode well for the longevity of the product. Solid, much quieter than a wheel-on turbo (just noise of gears really), and love the fact that it runs on batteries. The range exposed where musicians trying to hide. As a result it?s not really that comfortable for me. The procedure to properly reset them is NOT in the instructions in the box. The material is great quality and doesnt ripple or roll, it just smoothes everything out and stays in place. literally plug and play with my xbox controller.
