I would say overall, these are fine, cheap, dependable shorts. COOL. So we bought two and have positioned them so that one is slightly raised above the other so that it looks like that red subway line continues from the first set of hooks to the next (if that makes sense). Because of my swelling I also wish the strap had a little more give to it, but its still manageable for me. No pain at all with my plantars and quick break in period. Je lai pris principalement pour avoir les palettes car une manette avec palettes (Scuf par exemple) cest bcp trop cher ! for People that like bass on outdoor Mode on the X10. I bought this product just from reading peoples reviews complimenting its sound quality and mic quality. This did not disappoint. I like these shoes so much I ordered 3 more pair in different colors.
