Not very cute. Been using them for 15+ years and Ill never use anything else again! My husband finds them very comfortable ready to put on and great when away in caravan too. If your serious about sound quality this is the mic you want. I would call these an oxford or loafer as they fit below the ankle. My sister had highly recommended these for our upcoming Disney World trip and I?m so glad I went with her suggestion. They are the kind that have protrusions that make it more difficult to take out. My toddler has wide feet (normal at this age). I really like that its small so I can toss it in my pocket and not lose it. Surprisingly soft.
