Im not really a sandal guy, but I actually think thats because I never had a sandal like this before. Microphone was easy to unpack and connect to the laptop. LOVE the look of this on my counter. and i love all their products. I almost returned these, but settled for the front bar being further back than desired. So, I wasnt going to let the tiny bit of narrow fit keep me from using them. I like being able to identify different controllers. However, they seem to be holding up, and theyre quite a bit more comfortable than I expected. This nightgown is think but not so thin that it can be seen through. Although they are comfortable, I find it really poor that with such low impact wear they have started to come apart.
