He didnt try and play God - there were loads of people who felt cheated by him, but he wasnt bothered. I have 2 pair. The soles are still good, the stitching is still all holding, and the laves are still in good shape. I ended up returning them both and decided to spend much more money on Bose QC35 - had them for about a week but wasnt that impressed with them at all especially for the money, and the cabin pressure sensation I got from them made me return them too. Either a really good fake, or just another exaggerated speed claims. Happy feet! I have recently been into sandals but they dont have the stability of a shoe, nor do they have much in terms of arch support. into the garden or to the shed, feed chickens, last wee of the night for the dogs. I still dislike having to hold down the power button to turn the headset on and off but its the same on the QC30s. The platform isn?t too high, and they are easy to walk in.
