Maybe we just got a dud, but Im not happy at all. No it will not be as sleak, but when paying good money for audio you should be getting above subpar sound. I usually wear 6 or 7 in shoes and I got this sandal in a 7. The side zipper and the upper part of the boots make it hard to put my feet into them. The cord already broke. So easy to remove the phone. Strings hanging down and stretched out elastics. I was skeptical about this but it works! I love crocs have used them for years. I just got my order in today after exchanging my original order for a smaller size.
