First off I have a big wide foot. This is such a great product! It’s also very cute. Im still very happy with the graphics. I agree with those who suggest that you buy your pair one size larger than what you normally purchase. , but it shouldnt be the customers responsibility to "fix" such basic issues when those issues should never have arisen. They need to be squished a bit and then held in place for a few moments while they snap crackle and pop expanding to fill your ear opening. Why is this a problem? Well, I am 5 foot 7 and these are way too long for me when the top is fully collapsed and I am climbing uphill on steep terrain. And different size ear pieces . 5 with a wide-ish foot.
