I couldnt bend my feet. A couple of days after USPS was to have delivered them to the ReChaco/Warranty place, I had an e-mail from the warranty department saying that they determined that it was a problem with the materials. Pretty happy with this. Adjust the laces to the desired fit (loose or snug). Update: Giving it a 5/5 for functionality, doesn?t look amazing as the rubber seal and mount fit a little different on every piece and are not flush. And the other end could hear me well with no interference. So, I wouldnt recommend purchase of this item. Also, I recommend this slipper for walking on clean carpeted areas. The length gives me flexibility and it?s a tough little cord. One shoe is is looking great, size as expected, bows are perfect, box, wraps and so on.
