Overall, these are great shoes. On sent clairement que la plaque va céder si lont rajoute de la tension. Before I begin, I am not an audiophile,but I love my music, and the gadgets that make the music, for over 40 years, and I am very fussy about how my gear sounds. The old seat on my spin cycle made my bottom sore and I no longer deal with that issue. All of this is and was expected, make sure you research according to your needs before you buy anything. Paint was off had scratches had to go buy Black spray paint. Schon in meiner Jugend trug ich diese "Birkenstöcke", und bis heute immer wieder gerne. ———————————————————————-Fairly decent sound but not the clearest sounding speaker compared to other models I have used. I know they are difficult to get on but I figured it out, until they are stretched you have to push the foot all the way into the shoe until the back stiff part is behind the heel, then pull the mesh part back up over the heel. So when I can’t get my key out it’s pointless the whole point of having the fob cover is to protect your fob not to seal it in and not be able to get your key out.
