We prefer bright colors so the washing machine restores them to that "new" look. You can probably tell that I love these. I purchased this Right line Gear weather proof roof bag for a trip from North Carolina to Texas, I thought this was a pretty decent product it felt like it was made well but I was wrong. - Too small for people (especially men) with large feet both width and length so those while you can still wiggle them in, the shoes stick out awkwardly. I can wear these for all day walking excursions with no issues at all. If you have any problems with them coming undone you can tighten the hatch with a pair of tweezers. Alors jai pris une chance et jai été très satisfaite du produit! But these are way too small, not true to size. If your width is smalI or medium RUN from this shoe! DO NOT HESITATE!
