I wanted these boots to work so badly, but unfortunately decided to return them. Yes the soundstage was not as wide as my seinhessers, but the whole sound was just better. Shoe is very comfy. Im a womens size 5. The quality of the rope looks good, and the anchor strap will also worked around a tree I have in the yard. So very comfortable too. Also, the headset makes a the kind of rubberized deep "creaking" noise when you flex yor jaw or move your head as the material slips against the arms of your glasses. I was worried it wouldn’t be able to charge my AirPods while in their case, but I simply pushed a little bit more of the charger through the hole and it fits nicely, even with a dust plug. Consistent and no pre or post travel. These shoes are extremely comfortable to wear due to the goga mat used as a sole.
