The size I picked is never short on me. I am very pleased with theses AKGs which are almost as good. It has been a little over a year. The break was high enough that I managed to still tie them. Had to use one of my own as I repurposed the hole from the previous towel rail and needed a slightly bigger plug. They are narrow for sure. I have several Fitflop sandals but this is my first pair of shoes. Nebenquest: Wenn ich dann mal nicht mit dem Rad unterwegs bin, höre ich gern Musik verschiedenster Genres und das auch gern in hoher Qualität. The on/off/pair button is well-designed and satisfying. Also had same twisted strap problem, so returned as well.
