I still recommend them, but wonder if they have changed the type of materials they use to make their sandals. Much to my disappointment, the other reviews were right. These hooks were just what I needed to add some extra hanging storage in my bedroom. Ear buds? They hurt to put in for the first two weeks, and hurt worse to take out of my ears. heard twice the bass and much louder sound out of speakers one third the size. However, many other buyers such as myself were sent defective earbuds. I love Cob Hill shoes; I think I just received a defective shoe because I have never had an issue with the sizing before with this company/brand. The product is amazing, the Bluetooth connection is fast, and it is very comfortable to wear it. It comes in two pieces. Some are louder then some are alot quieter.
