They were not so I returned them1) the stain appears redder in the pictures compared to what was received2) there is no top stabilization cross piece as shown in pictures 1-4, 8 & 9. 70$ tax in and i bought the instant pot duo 7 in 1 , 8 Quart product sold and shipped by Amazon just to be sure its something i can trust since its from Amazon choice . There are vegan friendly options as well as real leather options. Were still keeping this sandal based on looks, can be a casual lounging at out door BBQs , on the lakes and river adventures. But these make it a little more better. Once again, I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT. Mind you, I replaced the tips with Comply brand for better isolation and bass response. The ONLY issues I have had seems to be that it advertises a detachable mic, I unplugged it and to my surprise there was no aux port, it was connected to a wire, after that, I tried aux mode and the quality was okay. The swabs are of great quality! I returned my size 7s for 7.
