The motivation was to have full access to rear compartment of our Jeep. If I wasnt careful, I would have most likely fallen off the bench. The sizing on these Croc sandals is crazy! The non slip tab at the back of the sock helps keep the heel in place and I love that feature. The sole on the heel does not have even half the "firmness" it originally had which was why I love Fit Flops. If anything changes I will edit the review but so far, I would definitely say that these are worth the buy considering the price point. second review - one day. And I have to go through the same procedure again and use my wife DASH for running. The wood is smooth and shiny. Its a pretty simple concept - replace the battery pack on the controller, and then actually remember to put the controller on this when youre done playing.
