Basic sturdy flip flops. I especially like the fact that when its not in use, it lays flat against the wall, out of the way. Otherwise, work great. At least they are tight for me. Mesh fabric provides enough grip to run with this thing in my hands without worry about losing a grip. I just made some cheap curtains and pinched these on the back for a fake pleated look, so the part where the fabric will have holes/be picked at is in the back, plus I’m not planning on taking these curtains down any time soon. Now sitting down at your desk, or sitting anywhere, its fine. Nothing helped until I discovered this product. I’m 5’7” with a long torso and don’t like the short bands because I like for all of my abdomen to be covered and this one covers me from right under the bust to the hips. I am 8-month pregnant and my feet have been killing me.
