I agree that it does not feel the most stable, however it is as stable as it can be for a shoe rack that gets folded up. Maybe I need to wear full socks and break them in? Maybe I should have gotten a 10? It was not comfortable for me. I used both tapes it came with to hold the top. Peace has returned to my word day. I miss the days where you could try on shoes in the store and walk around before you decide. good product arrived in a timely manner. Got them on Indiegogo. With this one, I should have ordered a medium at most. Can wear it as bracelets or anklet. The size and shape is completely wrong.
