No padding, very wide but short. Stylish, which I love. The noise canceling is terrific, and a delight as I do much of my listening on long rides on the bus (Im a long-distance commuter). This particular pair I ordered was longer and very wide. Son perfectos, ajustan a la perfección. Keep in mind, the shoes will never be like they originally were, but this will help prolong the shoes. In less than twenty four hours I was answered by a very pleasant lady called "Sunshine". I received this case August 16, 2016, so it has not had much use. And their charging with a standard USB cable is a plus, no worries about forgetting a special cable or charge station. Still, I made the mistake of using it for a third time and this time the eczema was so bad that I went to see a doctor and had to stop going to the pool altogether for three weeks.
