I found them to fit and seal really well and they were comfortable to wear. The new pads are gonna feel a lot less plush than your replacements at first. This is a solid and beautiful looking piece that can be used in various ways. This case is very flimsy and thin, its not very expensive, so you get what you pay for, honestly would pay a little more for a different case It was a bit large, but wont be ordering a smaller size, as the arch support was just so-so. So angry this happened, its been 3 days and the raw spot from the blister is finally healing . If I where you I?d go up a 1/2 size I?m a true 8 1/2 all day long ! I ordered size 10 according to the measurement scale provided. So good. Keep them clean, and they retain their grip.
