I probably paid $200 for them, far more than I had ever paid for headphones before. Update - I received the size 10 replacement and have worn them to work all day for a couple of days. A squat rack, adjustable bench, power tower, and landmine setup. Scratchers forever! I wont attempt that with this model. BTW, easy to assemble, took me about 10 -15 minutes moving at a snails pace. Leather on toe area started to tear right away. After pulling it out to use it one time I tried to deploy the legs and one leg would not deploy without assistance. I would not recommend an adult to sit on it, but is fine for kids. They look expensive.
