I do LOVE the wedge and it does feel like extra cushioning. The top row is where boots and heels would need to go. The magnetic connection in the case makes the guard warp because it?s metal. Oh, also I tried my leggings & jeggings on over these & they do not show above the waistlines. Assez facile à assembler. Sound quality is good, but not great for the price. Wore these for 18+ hours and had no issues. They seam to run about a half size large, but that is fine with me. They work very well at lowering the noise when shooting and as I said they stay handy when youre in between shooting and doing whatever else you need to do . - Sound isolation is between fine and not great.
