No issues so I decided the next day to use it on my 18 mile run. the smaller part of the mounting hole should be on the top, not on the bottom. If you glued the ends as you assemble this, you could easily pick up the entire piece with one hand (fully assembled it weighs only 7 pounds). I would not recommend ordering a larger size. Ive owned other chacos in the past and was well pleased with their durability and comfort (wore them for an entire summer as a camp cousellor) but their sizing is difficult. I love Crocs and so do my Granddaughters! I also cannot stand the fact since I was so used to them on the Elite 800s but the game/chat mix on the Astro A50s is super annoying. After hearing the quality and getting reports back from staff of how comfortable they were we were thrilled to have purchased them. but these are snug/borderline too small. " I know many women for whom these were the standard - hats, gloves, slippers, etc that were a staple in our wardrobes, and always a good gift .
