The insole is not the same as the nice, cushion-y insoles that you see on the same shoes in the stores. I bought these crossbars with J-racks for transporting a 50 pound kayak. I am disappointed that the main character (Baer Creighton’s) dialect completely changed from the first two books. Ha ha! Decent replacement pieces for the price. It finally was getting quite old and the EarPod holders were starting to fail. So I bought a pair. I’m usually a 5, but with these I’m a 4, otherwise I love them and they’re very comfortable. I only use them for urban outings. I dont think this purchase was as good as it was made out to be.
