The belt is durable and a great fit for all sizes. After looking a little closer at the product, it appears to have been imported from China for resale here in Canada by a third party (Not Sony). These are a must for hospital bags and your at-home recovery! Pairing with my phone went smoothly on the first try. Its also great that they can adjust to the swelling of the feet with the use of Velcro closures. this sole is much, much better! Its not meant to protect it if you drop it onto a hard surface, for crying out loud. I called Chaco about this concern, and they confirmed their design is now different. If worn from morning to night the comfy elastic on the top of foot will hurt but that happens with any shoe that has elastic in top of the foot. I’m literally scared to move when I’m wearing them.
