But as for wearing them as regular flip-flops: probably not. All in all this was a great purchase receiving 2 for1 as well as the cool colors the earbuds come in. I would describe these shoes as clumpy but utilitarian. I?m not sure if they are throw back or imitation crocs. I bought a size bigger just to ensure she could get the most wear out of them and I was pleased with the fit. If your arms have a 9 in circumference then great! You can listen to the music, not the noise from outside. Ive always loved stories about Rogue Squadron; the novels by Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston were the only Star Wars novels (besides the novelizations of the movies) that I actually bought. The ruching on the dress and the asymmetrical hem makes the dress very sexy looking and perfect for any event! this hat is definitely BOSS status!
