Just find a cobbler to stretch the leather. The fuzzy on the end of the microphone is also of good quality. Likes the cushioned sole and of course the puppy! In addition they have some cushioning on the soles that many of the flat sandals lack. This is a result of constant contact with body oils (this is why my dads pair is still soft). People that do not want bass may want to stay clear of these, but from my testing I really enjoyed the sound. Case good snuggly inside. Pass on this one. Bought these to add to my collection; I bought a couple pair last year - and honestly all of my LAPG items have been top notch, with one minor exception Ill detail later. Soooo comfy and soft.
