And it hurt again. I probably will be returning them and search for something else for my problem feet. I?m super happy with these! I want to start by saying these things are incredibly similar to the brand name. The sound is as good as the original earpads when they were new. Skechers are always comfortable, they are my favorite brand of sandals. It has good loft for side sleepers although I have put an old, thinner pillow under it to give me a little more height. Audio wont be audiophile level, dont expect that at this price point, but be ready to receive an immersive audio experience,clarity and bass. My sister and I can hear it no problem but our dad cant seem to. Im so disappointed that quality control didnt catch it before they were shipped out.
