I purchased two of these items and both had the same issue. Im by no means fat, but my butt likes a wider surface to sit on anyhow. We mounted both cables to the wall using the provided tacks (back to back) and we are able to get 500/500 Mbit from our ISP to our router and 500/500 over the CAT7 cable to our servers. this is the next best choice. I have been wanting these sandals since I bought my first pair of crocs more than 5 yrs ago. The material holding the slipper together is very solid - it just looks like a high quality item. So I plan on taking more time to calibrate during my next play. For short periods - say an hour, or hour and a half meeting, its great. Not a knock off. At 18mo he hasn’t yet mastered putting them back on, so they become less useful to us for this reason.
