I had a brown pair like this for several years that I loved until they wore out. I bought these at an outlet store a few months ago and have had trouble with the velcro staying put. It's really annoying to be walking along and have the straps come undone for no apparent reason. They do have a nice memory foam padding that is comfortable. If I had paid $20 for these I would be somewhat satisfied, but since I paid $50, I do not recommend them.
