Over time I got more used to them and found them to be more comfortable for walking than I originally expected. I bought this product to use with my desktop as I work from home. I found the highs werent decent, wasnt tinny or too high, in fact I wanted a tiny bit more treble. I ordered the recommended size, however it doesnt come in "wide" - I figured I wouldnt need it with the buckle system. It broke on its 3rd use, and my kayak about fell off of my vehicle and nearly hit the pavement. By that I mean if you look at the top of the cabinet, for example, youll see the ripples where the screws were screwed in to secure the sides to the top and bottom. Cant complain about that. But "Dee-Dee" deserved a better beginning to her sleuthing career. I wish it was a bit smaller in size. They?re a really practical shoe; supportive and comfortable footbed for walking, sturdy and washable.
