The padding on the sides was really soft as well, and I feel like I could practically sleep with these on.

I was looking for newer tennis shoes with a wide rounded toe box. I love the lace and neckline. Maustaste hat, musste etwas Neues her. Then as my first week with them passed, they stretched out to the point where they are now huge and will no longer stay on my feet. I can always add a soft cable bag or something to have the headphones not move around so much. Right is more longer and larger. Plus if you have farmers hands pretty much or mechanics hands.
