The entire sole came off and is now a huge safety issue for falling down the stairs. A soft and comfy sandal, even to wear for long periods. They haven’t really worn them out yet so hopefully these meet my expectations. Sehr bequemer Schuh. I have read that some others say they are stiff as boards, and I initially thought that when I first saw them. I am going to order a second pair just in case these disappear when I need to replace them this fall. It also elongates the leg! Of course my gut said get the 8, but most of the ladies on the reviews said, oh no, the 7 will stretch out. We ended up just stretching the old ones out and got almost another year from them. Seemed like a good deal for a pretty well reviewed high end wireless headphone.
