The bottom, you can see the heels are worn and there is a dent from a stone or something in the front bottom on the one sandal. So finally I ordered these Figure 8 straps. I didnt know if this version would work with the HyperX Cloud Alpha as this audio cable with the mic control was for one of XyperXs newer headsets. the first set one earbud quit working after just a few weeks, had to return it. Nothing but a message that the accessory may not be supported. Like butta! Skechers is the only foot wear I can tolerate. youll never have to do this again)The only slight negative "ding" I would give this set is the U-shape mounting bracket is NOT stainless, its painted/powder-coated. Personally I wish the directions were more detailed, but it?s really simple. These slippers are warm, but they do run a bit on the narrow side, which I like since I have narrow feet.
