Which model of Walkers did you go for and were they in ear or over ear? I've got some Howard Leight Impact Sports (https://www.howardleightshootingsports. ... ssic-green) but find that they don't make contact with my head underneath my ear. If I don't double up with in-ear protection, these offer little to no protection.

Without hijacking the thread, I'll be looking at over ear protection recommended in this thread.

I went with razors. I find them to fit a lot better than the howard leight's. I bought them but them don't sit on me well. the walker cups a bigger and softer. I feel like my ear actualy goes inside the cups on these. battery life is good, I've had them since 2017 and only changed battery once. they are low profile like the HL, so they don't interfere with stocks for me. I still double up if i'm shooting 9mm pistol in an indoor range that is essentially steel lined lol!
like these, company I bought from no longer offers them, bought from US on a 'make offer' price

Are yours similar to the style in this Amazon link?
No. Look up "custom fit guards". They come to your house and take a mould of your ears and then take them away and make your ear plugs from them. They even keep your mould on record so if you need a replacement or want more they can make them straight away.
