These sandals are really cute on and comfortable from the first moment you wear in them! I had the VHS release at one point but I no longer have a working VCR, and who wants to watch stuff in VHS quality nowadays anyway? Ive been waiting for a Blu-Ray release, without having to buy the "The Later Years" set that includes a ton of stuff I already own. This is a good quality towel-bar assembly. I am not sure if there is any difference between the two, but I found that the old (blue) ones would last longer. I like that the strap going over the middle of your foot has an elastic as well as the ankle strap but it does run quite large. The hangers are very sturdy and comes with the screws and nail studs to keep it secure on the wall. Im sure an eight would be too large and since they dont come in half sizes I will be sadly returning them. I listened to some relaxation music from Pandora and the sound is crisp and clear. Things I like1. The unit is narrow enough to sit against a wall right at a doorway and not impede traffic flow.
