Makes beach sand easier to walk in, and gives me that little bit of support that I need. It just works and thats good enough for me. I admit I was a little uncertain about the treble definition though it may have been simply the track played. These are middle of the road, but respectable for the price. My son also complained that they were very uncomfortable. These are great sandals, I really like them a lot, they are not to stiff, really high heels as expected. I thought 5 pack meant like 5 jibbitz but I got 5 sets of 5 jibbitz. But despite how large and bulky the sole, they felt too narrow and tight around my foot. Ive used all sorts of microphones ranging from inexpensive headsets to boom mounted condenser mics costing more than $300. Also, both of them had hooks that wouldnt stay closed, so there was always at least one hook that would flip open despite us putting them in the closed position.
