I also wore them in Alaska with thick socks and they were great. Style. I like the protection it offers to toes and stability for the heel. I do not use the LED lighting, as I am not usually close to a USB hub when gaming. You can?t even play it plugged in to conserve battery. One shoe too big. The only trick that seems to work for me is to put the "secondary" bud in first (the one NOT registered as the controlling bud), listen for the pairing sound, wait a few secs, then put in the controller bud. way too small. Now I can show off my love of Batman in a new way. Hopefully this helps out someone else out.
