After wearing just a couple of times (I have not even had them 2 months) the sides of the shoes are coming away from and braking off the sole of the shoe so there is no support. Under $20 maybe more reasonable. However, based on the price and my current experience. They have good sound quality and were easy to set up. even with suppression turned on. I decided to wear them out, and after a little walking the stitch must have stretched out and is still noticeable, but not bothersome. Solid and good finish. Then I looked at the ceiling hoists and that seemed too cumbersome. Great shoe for the price ! I was laughing and smiling that day!
