The elastic on the Amazon shoe is also bunched. Get so main compliments on these! OK OK. The controller is lightweight but feels solid. Fits perfect, even with a bunion on my left foot. I also thought they would be white with glitter based on picture, but they are very obviously silver in person. Overall, its a good product, do not get me wrong. Far from heavy duty, its barely adequate for static seasonal storage. This product is excellent as a paper towel holder, I used it under my cabinet and it works perfect. These are a slightly different style, but when I saw that these were designed for "maximum walkability", I took a chance.
