The overall fit and feel of these shoes have generally met my expectations. The headphone works well. Ships from and sold by Amazon. the shoes say: "stay cool" insert. It has about a 2ft cable so the antenna sits on top of the tower for better reception. So, once you get it to stay on - maybe by attaching it to your ear- you will discover the next problem. I am going to return them. I needed to remove the plastic caps from the end of the side supports for the rail to fit "upside down" and the bolt align to secure. My husband hung it at a little above 6 feet in case it accidentally gets left in the down position. The slide design allows me to keep my socks on, so these are more practical to have instead of warm slippers or flip flops to conveniently change into.
