Again, the width on these is no problem. (I think it was the silkiness that finally won him over). Not noise cancelling but does isolate environmental noise. I probably should give this a better rating because they do hold up better than Id expected, but it gets a low score because the plastic edges are sharp as knives. the stock ear pads are ok, but my ears are close to rubbing on the insides, and after 1+ hours of usage my ears get hot. This was under completely normal use without being tugged on. Otherwise I love the feel of these slippers and just ordered another pair. Best shoe for the money in the service industry! They arrived true to size. They are very comfortable and wide enough for my wide feet.
