The best part of Dearfoams is that your feet dont sweat in them. If you arent willing to be without your AirPods while the covers loosen up (since you would have to take them off to charge the AirPods once the batteries drain), then they will also loosen up over the next week as you repeatedly put them on and take them off, but the process will be a little frustrating in the meantime. Its that simple. I’m so glad I did. Its always awkward to try to press what you need. My garage is only so big and I cant put every workout machine in it for my workout regiment. Im sure you could drop them too and they would be fine. These are really comfortable and very easy to slip on and off. And because I got 3 I’m able to have the cords set up in multiple rooms and keep one in the car. I took it out of package & tried on as soon as it arrived.
