love them, I will rebuy them in the future Personally, I was never close to pain wearing them, and I wear them 4-8 hours daily. Me gusta el diseño, hechura y peso de la cuerda, pero el material se siente un poco débil y en algunas partes se está deshilachando. The construction was high quality as were the materials. That said, its very cute and the shipment came fast. The right boot fit perfectly, but the left boot is too large, especially around the ankle. If you are of Africa descent it doesn?t make sense. Great for kids and for rainy weather and for the outdoors. Update: The replacement arrived and although this one powered up (and, yes, it takes a solid 10 seconds for this thing to boot up every time before its usable), it sounds like crap. Not only did this shelf provided precious space, but also make my kitchen more elegant looking.
