A great pair of shoes - robust, stylish, and well-made. Mine is almost 1 inch long. I can buy a brand new box with brand new earbuds and case for $150 at Best Buy. Was able to pick it within 20 seconds and worst of all - the lock is not returnable which was NOT stated when I ordered it. I am so glad I got these. They always looked shapeless and bulky to me. but control is excellent . Good quality, but was shipped a size to small. The straps are rough also. Lovely leather fully padded under each strap for extra comfort and will prevent rubbing.
