Now Im out side the return window. No need for socks. I have tiny ear canals (apparently) and these don?t hurt plus they stay on. Nice base with overall satisfactory sound quality. I love the fact that this pad allows me to bear the weight on my pelvis more comfortably so I dont have to rush through my workouts because of the pain. This fit that! He got out of the water and took his shoe off on the shore and had to dump a shoe full of water out. So either get a narrower size (if available) or adjust the straps down and definitely get one full size smaller. My foot fits the frame/bottom perfect but the strap is loose around the top of my foot, which makes the shoe feel like its too big. Very pretty
