Comfy footbed, gorgeous stones. Listening to classical music on your phone or even iPod, sometimes you cant get it as loud as you might like. Not the most fashionable shoes but good for me and standing 9 hrs straight. If your style is "French Country" or "Rustic", these are the hangers for you. The suction is strong and it stick to the board. At the lake, my son and I put it together (on a tarp) and then carried it onto the lake. A little on the heavy side. I was a little skeptical at first but after using it for 3 weeks I definitely recommend investing in this product. But the smaller size heavily improved keeping sand out. This isnt a manufacturing flaw -- its an engineering defect, the kind I seem to see more and more of as "design engineer" increasingly means "someone who knows how to draw pictures with a CAD program".
