If I have to force my feet into footwear, I can injure both my knees and my Achilles tendons. My ankle is 6 inches, I got them today can’t wait till I break these babies in! Crocs changed their styles and fit a couple of years ago so I stopped ordering those. I would’ve rated 5 stars if the carabiner were better quality. Which was easily fixed with a piece of pipe insulation and a couple zip ties. Used under antique car. Here is my Summary:PROS: * Well-made, semi-rugged * Good support, including arch supportCONS: * Run about a 1/2 size larger in my experience, maybe slightly wider than average as well * Shoe strings are perhaps too long and longer than necessary, but that is nitpicking a bit. Put simply these are great value for money and are comfy and sound great. still the same unit, still same battery, still sounding great for hours and hours. The only thing they did was when I was pulling my gown off it caught it and it did come off then.
