The mfg needs to check their design and fix the flaw. VERY sturdy and seems well built. I was "THRILLED" to find them in my size on Amazon. I have nearly flat feet with medium width, so anything with an arch usually kills my feet, so these being pretty flat feel great with my foot shape. Pods need to be allowed to dry. Overall a good piece for extra storage and what I needed. Loved the style and how the case looked but it seemed impractical to me to use it. The Sound Quality is Superb And I love what Samsung did with Headphones. Something on the top of the velcro strap rubs your foot and after a while it hurts No se puede armar de otra manera que sea lineal ya que no vienen el suficiente número de piezas de uniones como para armar en otra disposición.
