With these shoes, it’s a must. It feels well-built and as though it will hold together quite well. I wore a petticoat underneath. I suppose if all you want is a "tinny" sounding little speaker to listen to podcasts on, its a decent product. Come down! 5 W with capezio and 6. And to be honest, these hangers arent really available locally, so ultimately I decided to take a chance that if I reordered the same item(s), they might get it right the 2nd time. I wont be buying any more UGG products because I dont know what I will get. I would definitely NOT recommend these. Its been extremely difficult to find dance shoes that I can wear comfortably for the 4 hours I spend dancing in one night.
