Obviously the company that makes this product does not test for waterproofness before sending it out for sale. And Im sure sneakers would look good in there, too. I actually stand straighter with shoes that have a bit of a lift, and these seem to have just the right amount. I bought a hot pink pair. Definitely a step up in quality from the 500 series one. If you do not need any of the newer features, including Weather Intelligence Plus, Yard Map, and Apple HomeKit, you may want to consider the older Rachio 2 flagship. La bassa impedenza (18 ohm) consente inoltre di pilotarle facilmente con qualsiasi DAC/AMP/Smartphone/MP3/Ipod (è chiaro che se volete sfruttarle a pieno bisogna collegarle a buone sorgenti audio). SO if you too have a high arch/instep, be mindful of your size when ordering as you may want to go up a size too. This is my 2nd purchase of this version. Die wenigsten halten, was der Hersteller verspricht.
