We bought this one because of the length that would fit a specific wall, whereas most are well plus 40 inches and too large. Dude even the part where you plug into your device had plastic protection cover ,it was well packaged in a bubble bag and the earbuds were in the box . The fit on these sandals is perfect and they are extremely comfortable. I checked my other shoes and they were the same size and width. To make a long story short, I bought these pillows by mistake and contacted the seller to return them. I had been wearing a few different pairs of in-ear/ over-the-ear headphones before this, and they all caused more discomfort than these. These are my favorites, miles ahead of triple-flange ones comfort wise. Heel pocket:For me, this is the most disappointing aspect of the shoe. They lasted me almost 4 hours without needing a recharge. So all in all a nice clear mic so people can hear me clearly and correctly.
