I hurt my feet trying to keep these on my feet while walking. Again, no more unlocking-relocking as with traditional straps. Hopefully this would be helpful to other people. I put it in the washing machine and dryer, and the gown shrunk about 5% (as expected). Ive lifted for two decades at home and with gym memberships. I have ordered several pairs of Chacos Petaluma MJ Trail Hiking Shoe, all in 7 1/2 and for that style my normal size is perfect. Within this time I have been very pleased, apart from the paint on the metal buckles is starting to chips. There is just no better boot on the market. The first issue (the hitch pin bolt) is somewhat exacerbated by the design of the (factory) receiver on my Toyota 4Runner that partially blocks access to the flats of the bolt and nut. Quality is down, down, down.
