Didn?t come with any directions. Easier said than done. The arch support in particular feels so wonderful on my high arches. I am married to a very sensitive sleeper. The cable pictured in the listing is different than the one received. Of course they are not of the same quality as the more popular, expensive earbuds. I got these and they are really cute and sturdy. now they are almost triple the price. The pair I received seem to be well made, so I hope to be wearing them for a long time. unlike the gummed soles on other brands.
