The shoe can go well for office and dinner. Even if I have to replace it in two months it’s worth the protection! I don’t want to take them off. I am returning mine. same as the photo I felt like I was in a BIG DILEMMA until I thought to get bungee cords I had on hand and place bungee cords over the bag for more security. Which is a bummer because even one iota of improvement in the mic would be worth keeping due to the other great features. So consider yourself warned. However, because they are so cute and he said they were very comfortable I would order them again for a vacation . just at a way softer volume.
