I wear these shoes daily. Have had them wet and held up fine and feet stayed nice and dry. Out of the TV, the sound is great. The rack has no 90 degree bend in it to fit snugly over the top of the gate. guessing no one else notices- I wear glasses and have a hard time finding headphones that will fit properly and be comfortable. Surtout avec un jeans. I dont know if these cheaper ones will break at all, thats just my preference. If these boots make it that long itll be money well spent. Not sure you get the best support on arch without half sizes.
