I tried practicing walking around the house in them for a while, but I just cannot achieve a natural feeling gait, so they are being returned. They have good clarity and are very comfortable to wear for long periods. I dont run, jump or do anything out of the ordinary in these shoes. No big deal, a few taps and its straight again, albeit minus some coating. You can get these dark "multi" ones or the really light "pastel" ones that only have a few colors. The one that is the closest to your right-hand thumb is prone to break. Lots of extra space so Im very pleased. Not 24 inches. QMK likely offers significantly more options, but the website tool allows me to change colors and key mappings. I bought them based on Clarks popularity years ago.
