These are well worth the price! The other portion of the headphone is made up of a chemically treated fabric that supposedly will repel moisture or stains. These are very nice sandals, they looked even nicer when I received them, then in the photo (to me at least) I was pleasantly surprised. I purchased these to wear while I do yard work. Holes were either the wrong size, not pre-drilled or both. Easy to put up I love these the most because they provide arch support for my flat duck feet, but dont hurt my arch in the process like some other shoes/flops. Perhaps I need to go over instructions again, although I dont remember seeing one in the package. I was really pleased with these when they arrived but unfortunately they seem to slip forward on my feet so I cant walk properly in them. myself.
