It is so loud I make sure to lower the volume setting on my xbox because it can be too loud. i bought them to be used while at work on my work pc to listen to music,chat with others, video meetings and voip calls. I have thought about upgrading to something else, but these are fine and I would purchase again. Once my foot was inside, I can see how these would be a good solid shoe. I’ve had the Marten Romi sandals for forever, and I love them, but they are pretty heavy. They looked well constructed and warm. Not buying another. it STILL smells in my house. I was in the camp of wanting something affordable, functional and no frills. I can slip my feet into comfy slippers that still have the support needed to keep my foot from hurting, as it does as soon as I try to walk on these floors.
