I did dishes, went for a walk and cleaned the house and they are in GOOD! The first time I put them on I was shocked at how difficult it was to get my foot into them. Sandali ottimi! I was able to fit the stand in less than 10 minutes. I was not satisfied with this product. My damage didnt fall in any of the policies stated above but still the customer care would respond with automated replies and wouldnt tend to issues of replacing a small part. These are high-quality Heavy duty but not too heavy I plan on reordering the regular Bistro, which doesnt have the same adjustable strap and seems hardier according to reviews. Steel series is the way to go. Just noticed other people have had the same happen.
