Material is solid and tear or rip resistant. The most recent tripping caused me to hit the floor which ended in a terrible black eye and a few minor cuts on my eyebrow. Additionally, there is no volume +/- button there is one button that switches between three settings. These are much cuter In person. I want to hear everything good and bad. The imaging is good, even when using the 7. The toe sticks out a little more because of it, but I have not found it at all uncomfortable or sloppy like you would when you wear shoes that are too large for you. The blue I washed in standard tap cold water, there was some color bleed but not more than I expected. A definite must if you love bell sleeves! I use it for both function and style.
