The Bali Strap has a strap across your ankle and leaves the top of your foot open whereas the Newport H2 providers more coverage (but probably terrible tan lines). They are easy to assemble and very sturdy. It is compact, yet holds a variety of companies spices so you can buy different brands and they all seem to fit nicely. One set only had clear sound in one ear. I slipped right through the shoe. I will try to exchange it & update my review. I dont know if I missed it but I thought these slippers were one size fits all as I did not see anywhere i could adjust the size to my liking or maybe forgot I did choose the size and it just was too small. Material is super stretchy and conforms to the foot well. Hopefully theyll hold up as i think theyll be adorable as the temps get cooler. Luckily there is still enough room at the heal to not affect the fit, so issue for me is just minor cosmetic point.
