WHY SPEND MORE?? GET A PAIR OF THESE AND YOU CAN THANK ME LATER! This is unbelievably sturdy. Great vacation sandals. Im looking forward to donating all of my other sandals and just wearing these! Great sound, superior noise canceling with different silicon ear buds; purchased separately. Wheres all that flab going to go, do you think?! I particularly like the fact that I could find a really lovely shoe with lots of sparkles that didnt have a heel 4 inches high in which I could not walk. 4) turning on and off manually takes significantly few seconds longer on these buds than the pros. I drilled pilot holes and countersunk screws in these holders and screwed them to the cabinet door. Very happy as I think this will last for a long time.
