I have a narrow foot but these are so tight that I cant get my foot all the way to the toe bed. Given that I personally don?t care for the logo I actually like this approach. The backings are very sturdy. My little loves these! Very large though, which turns out to be perfect for me. I think thats all. The update gives the speaker a boost. I can hear every note from a bass guitar, electric guitar, every drum beat, and every vocal pitch! I am just starting to play (Ive played about 15 times), therefore, cant comment on the specifics unlike other pros. Im such a fussy shoe person my kids call our Hermes courier mrs new shoes i order so many different pairs.
