If I had a sewing machine, I could have fixed the problem myself. The slides here, while having less of a fluffy feel were incredibly comfortable and there was no feeling of platform wobbly ankle I expected. The battery life is phenomenal, I havent even gotten it down to half battery yet, and I work long shifts. Size chart was perfect, my feet are a bit narrow, shoes fit great. Great price too! The lights use a very light green light, barely noticeable. That goes for shoes too! They are just as advertised, The BASS is off the charts and I tried it with several different genres of music and they are all PERFECT sounding. Adjustable straps that don’t chaff. VERY UNHAPPY
