The bass is overly represented, with just the right amount of kick to get you into the music. I don’t know if these are fake but they do seem to be way less of a quality then the last pair I bought in the store. Great price, if I destroy these also, Ill buy another pair with my eyes closed. It is comfortable for the most part, but could be a bit thicker. Thankfully black goes with everything! The lava stones do hold essential oils also. Cheap and broke immediately The heels of the sandal have balls where your heel strikes, and the adidas symbol is gone after only a couple months of use. Quality is not good.
