they are not meeting my expectation in outside noise reduction. My only complaint is that the design does not go smoothly all around the case. This bench makes Ikea look easy. Theyre about half the price of other wedding shoes she considered. Bought these at about 22 months old (toddler size 6) – great fit and durability. I wear them almost every day to walk my dog, and they fit like a dream now. Fits better than any silicone case you can get. I normally where a 9. Super cute, length fits true, but width is narrow. The HyLoft will function but given the general quality of things, I will expect it to rust over time.
