the arch support is in the wrong place and/or the leather has been cut and shaped for a really odd shaped/sized foot. Seems sturdy enough, and looks way better than nothing did, and freed up some garage space for other bikes to fill. Have 4 other pairs of Chacos and just purchased a pair of the Z1 with no toe loop a couple of weeks ago; then saw this new "banded" (2 bands) version and decided to make an impulse purchase of this new version. I didnt realize there were some sparkly threads on this slipper, but I love it! Seller wouldn?t entertain a refund request even after seeing the pictures 5) Put the buds back in the case for at least 10 seconds. Which was annoying and ended up with having uneven shelves because, I?m not savvy at building stuff. They both seem OK for listening to music and they both had good noise cancellation. The tone is tremendous, good volume and excellent base without sounding muffled. So glad I did and it fit just right with just a few alterations since I?m only 5?2? and I wear a size 16.
