I thought I?d give them a try and have been using them for the last few days. They really hurt my toes. My appliances are stainless steel and I wanted something that would match well with that coloring without being to "chrome like" . I got these for my daughter and made the mistake of showing them to her, so I guess they wont go back. This is awesome for any recording or broadcasting of your voice. What a difference in clarity. I might reorder in a smaller size. I sprayed mine white to blend into the wall with no issue. The arch is a good height and the rest of the foot bed has molded to my foot shape. It works fine everywhere I have contacted, and it charges all devices at the same speed as a regular charger.
