The toe shield is fairly subtle, which lends to an overall sleek and stylish look. Would get a 5 but the strap is still useless. Definitely would recommend this mic to anyone! The trainer arrived very well packaged. I would buy another pair if my size was available. All I know is that the 650 sounds good enough to be the end of the headphone rainbow for me. For the price they are worth it. Not sure if I will need to do this every time I plug and unplug them. Would def purchase again! The problem for me with this sandal was fit of adjustable front straps.
