If you want to protect your pods, this isn?t for you. The sizing for these was very confusing for me I actually thought I was buying a uk size 10 and ended up with I think is a size 7 or 8 just gave them to someone they fitted but very very comfy. Love the battery life capacity on the base charger, can keep charging earbuds when required and go without charging base for 2 days in a row. I like to but nice quality things and also affordable cheaper things to mix in my house. Overall, a pretty good shoe for the price and Ill update this after the cruise! They seem pretty solid. You can hear all the separate instruments clearly in the mix. I replaced my old slippers as the sole was falling off after probably 5 or 6 years of use. They are very comfortable, well padded and easy to charge up and use. The sole is a little harder than expected, but the cork inserts that come in the shoe have formed to my sole pretty well and I now have no problems and finish my shift at night with the minimal discomfort youd expect from any shoe youd been standing in for ten or eleven hour without a break.
