I attempted several times to wear them but find that I am constantly tripping or falling with them. Awkwardly pushed and twisted the lower metal stand into the screw, on top of the wooden part. Bars worked great. It dominates my other band members mics (Shure and Audix). Super comfy! Its a great idea but just not good enough. The shoes arrived promptly, as pictured. But, at this price, it really doesnt matter so I just buy a new pair. The bottom of the shoe is a very durable material. Noch ein Wort zur Akkuleistung.
