They are snug without being too tight; They fit over the ear well, and the padding is soft, but not mushy. I wore socks with these slippers for an entire day I hate wearing socks and I live in an area were we have "winter" and feet will get too hot wearing socks (why I bought the slippers) so when feet get hot I can just slip this off. They are not the cheapest product in the market,but they are one of the best. didnt have to drill the hole super perfect can adjust and tighten to level. Also its slightly harder and rougher material. This shoe rack is not big. So I didn?t bend over and have my earbuds fall out Added superfeet insoles and that took care of everything except getting used to a smaller toebox. I lost my earbuds. I have to stand on a concrete floor for 6-8 hours a day.
