They have a usable sole unlike many others. Definitely worth every single penny. Finally, full briefs that actually fit, especially around the legs. The new pads are gonna feel a lot less plush than your replacements at first. Im going to try not to wear these ones into the ground too soon, but Im so happy to have a new pair of sandals that truly bring my feet comfort during the warmer seasons. Between racks, I am able to fit all of my sneakers. 3/5 let me know if you actually have one 8 inches high The headband is also nicely padded, and doesnt wrinkle in the middle like my M50s do when Im wearing them. -I?m sure there?s a couple other cons that aren?t coming to mind right now.
