I would like to use headphones than earphones becaues I realized some of my hearing loss could have been due to using earbuds rather than headphones. and still have enough left over to pay for a year of streaming music. They also have decent tread on the bottom, so I have never slipped. They are exactly as pictured. They have way more support than flip flops and you can truly walk in these for miles with no discomfort. Ive loved CAP dumbbells for years now. Im very pleased with these shoes and I expect theyll wear well. This doesnt bother me though. This Sony player fit the bill. It didn’t fit me at first that I couldn’t meet the waist trainer’s hooks together but I seen that the package came with extensions to put on if it was a little too small/tight to fit which helped a lot to put it on easier.
