They are much heavier, sole is really stiff, very large to the front and narrow in the middle. I wear for work every day and get in around 10K steps per day. I havent placed my headphones inside, except for once. You can fit 3-4 pairs of flats in 1 box (depending on flexibility of shoe fabric) and even more flip flops. Cant spin them on like the official pads, but just took a few minutes using approach shown in product diagram above using fingers (didnt need included spudger). would have preferred less of a sole as I have balance issues. 5, still massiveUpdate: got a 7 but theres so much wrong! The thong tore out on me while I was carrying a sheet of plywood. I’m so glad I found these. The highest quality headphones I have ever used in my life are the Apple EarPods.
