the shoes are great for wide feet for comfortable reason. I really need to watch my footing, for I slipped a couple of times. I really like that the cord has a mic included, and that its a lot more manageable than the ones provided with the ATH-m40x headphones I have. Would be perfect for travel. But still he seems to like wearing these, and chose them over the namebrand designs. The quality of the rack is amazing. The design foot bed is narrower than my previous shoe causes some discomfort at the end of days wearing The best sound for me is the factory setting they call signature sound. The material is slightly different from crocs (dare I say crocs feel like theyre better quality?) but its basically the same idea. This is made of metal rods and plastic braces.
