When he was a preschooler we used to act this out and pretend to be the two characters. I could do with an actual volume button that makes sense but it’s not the end of the world. I have high arches and usually by dinner time my feet are killing me. I call manufacturer and no one answers. I do think they should make the sole a bit wider, they are narrower than the shoe, but after wearing them around the house either they broke in or I just got used to them. 5 to a 7 and still had these issues. The overall construction is pretty good, no issues so far (after months of use). Comfortable and as I purchased other pairs too to find out which is most comfortable. We had a heck of a time with one side. I absolutely love these!
