Overall this shoe is poorly designed. The structure of the flop is rigid with an intelligent break (bend point in the sole). Of course! Packaging:As in the pictures, a very simple package with some instructions, a thick foam mount to hold the adapter in and thats about it. Soundstage is not great, but decent, stereo imaging separation is adequate enough for wireless stereo. I was expecting more of a rubber material and was a bit disappointed in these. They take your money for a lousy product and then run and hide. The price is very competitive and the product is well made. It felt so light. Cactus is in our school name, so it was a "perfect fit"!
