What I was more skeptical of was if theyd be more comfortable than the stock new pads. I am usually a 41 in Euro sizes but went for the 42 based on past experiences with Swedish clog sizing. Which is fine. So, generally a handy thing to have. I was really excited to read the reviews that said these do not tarnish. I will keep them and just get used to what it is. My only problem (not a problem with the product at all! Two cons to this case is that the size is too big for pockets and the chsrge cable is a very tight fit to my beats. Bello ed è originale. Extremely over priced.
