I should have just stuck to buying Festool. I know they will smell after a while and are difficult to wash but in the meantime theyre the most wonderful things. They are very comfortable,warm,but not hot,and have a decent sole for the trips out to the garbage cans. TOTALLY worth the money! They are so cushy, it feels like walking on air. The slight curve inwards on the heel helps to keep them in place on your feet. I just love the simplicity of this fruit picker. Will update on durability once my son uses it. The design of the drivers doesnt make a good seal to really show off the sounds on this thing. Very comfortable and the pink and gray colors are just what I wanted.
