However after leaving them to dry in the sun the right shoe warped so it cannot be worn anymore. Added a lock washer, connector bolt still needs regular maintenance. Las compré para mi esposa, en su número pero son demasiado pequeñas, ya nos las puedo devolver porque se abrió el paquete. I haven?t washed them yet, so this review may change once that happens. This is well made and easy to assemble bike rack that has a stylish look. I spent the better portion of a day trying to get this to work and to say the least, after several trials to make it work I threw in the towel when the the provided straps would not hold my 43 lb kayaks in place at 15 MPH. Imaging, tonal quality is superb. I was originally looking for a name brand 2-kayak carrier for my SUV (Audi Q7), but came accross this option and read bout it and took a shot. Actually, Im getting used to the chunky sole. I didnt feel like they were going to fall off in the water which can be a big concern.
