--Update January 2017--These shoes in black didnt quite last a year, and they never reached same comfort level as the brown ones I had bought in a retail store. I have tried just about every other "gadget" to ameliorate the pain with little or no reduction of the pain. Have to say, I’m so impressed and finally found some incredibly balanced IEMs that are comfortable with a nice soundstage, tight bass, fantastic bright highs, and full mids where vocals can express their surround sound to envelope you. Sole seems to be thick enough that rocks, etc. I like a tighter fit. They provided 1 extra of each hardware piece and I needed them. Using the Bluetooth as a speaker with my Amazon Fire Stick on my tv which have speakers that are awful - fills the room with great sound using Pandora and Prime Video like a speaker should. these have never been abused and i wear them to gym 4-5 times per week. This pet bed is OK but Ive had better quality pet beds. I was able to walk in dirt, grass, and gravel in these and had no issues.
