The amount of force needed to engage them and travel time is quite significant. There was also a small tear in the bottom cloth that holds the seat cover wrapped around your seat after the 2nd use. Overall an excellent value! Lots of colors make it easy to wear with a variety of colors. If I had to find something to complain about I would admit I don’t like the lining of the wheel cover. They are so soft and stuffed on top but has limited sole support. I do not intend on adjusting the height because it seems it Seems to be a tad finicky. I like pretty, and comfortable, shoes, but value having the right type of gear for a situation. Wanted something that was as comfortable as a sneaker but with a dressier look. ConIt causes tension because its tight around my neck and shoulders due to the Criss-Cross back.
