He loved them - they were a perfect solution for comfy but sturdy shoes. But the shoes are definitely a good price for what you get. TWO WORDS: Truly Impressed! The split sole allows for much more flexibility, theres more cushioning in the lining, and the taps are somehow louder. It is so light and you will like you have worn anything . Must find a good waterproof spray to accompilsh this. I say yes because i am living proof of someone in loveeee with my new Keen hiking shoes! The only place where its comfortable is at the lowest settings when I attach it just above my ankle at the very bottom of my shin. The battery life is great as well and I like the ability to have the lights on or off. I really wanted to like this headset, but Im so disappointed in it.
