This pair is a recessed volume control which is harder to find and adjust, but Im sure that in no time I wont have a problem. So they fit really nicely and thus keep out a lot of external noise. I have read many books over the years on the subject, but once I picked this up, I just couldnt put it down. Dann werde ich meinen Bericht erweitern. WW always fit great. So these are very stylish. I wouldnt necessarily say these are the best lounging slippers because they are quite heavy on the foot; however, if you need something quick to put on to run outside and get the mail, or chase the dog, these are for you. I never write bad reviews but I paid way too much for these shoes to let it pass. They feel good. The price was very reasonable as well
