The beats over all were good I was only able to find only a few beads that did not have holes but it there were barely any. Each time we rode our bikes we enjoyed our seat even more. So something has to be off. I am a walking talking advertisement for these bad boys. THEY COME WITH SOCKS! Oh, and cheap enough I dont mind buying a new pair every year. I love these sandals and I put together a whole outfit for my 5-month-old granddaughter based on them.
