They are narrower and shorter but are fine for my indoor use as open "slippers" and after adjusting over two weeks are now fitting to my feet well. This is the third time I have bought these shoes. I mounted it to my Yakima Q Tower system, and experienced no issues - installation took me maybe 15 minutes?I was a little worried about the bike shifting left and right, because the rack felt a little flimsy, so I used a little twine on the bike for stability. I use this in a narrow hallway inside my back door. It actually fits the buds better! It came with the wrong instructions to start off, because this came in multiple sizes we were sent the instructions for the size with 5 shelves. Still using the original in 2020! I ordered a medium and while flattering it was a little too short to wear with house guests. She likes it I like it it’s pretty protective in my opinion not sure why it is as high as it gose.
