Or the base not rounded, otherwise it works. I almost walked out of them. The only thing was not enough memory foam for support. What I wish to have:1. UPDATE 2: H&D reached out to me and offered another replacement or refund to buy another of their items. (Edifier H210 without mic) CUSHION-Y:First, these shoes are in the Boost line-up, and utilize the same fantastic midsole characteristic of the line-up. Love , Love , Love. you can unplug and plug the mic, which is a good thing. They are extremely comfy and could probably be worn while youre out and about because they look great!
