Simply no one else has these shoes, so you can pat yourself on the back now for your hipster street cred. But everything else works just great. The design is so much better in terms of looks and feel. These headphones cancel that sound completely while I?m gaming. I did try a size 7 in a different colour and although for length it is better, overall the sandal is too roomy. the foam expands and makes them feel to small. Worth the extra cost to Have them sent from USA. First one side went silent, then both sides went very low volume, and could not hear anything. Note that you also need the software to set a default lighting mode (for example, the board defaults to all keys lit the same color and gently rotates between colors - I prefer the color wave, but the board wont remember that without the software, and after inactivity defaults back to the original setting). I am a big fella, and I had been having problems with my cheap work shoes leaving my feet in pain.
