Many times now the bottoms are like a plastic feeling. I just dont lace them as tight near the toes. , the game is to power hungry and unfortunately last gen machines cannot run it as intended. , but my pair has been holding a good charge for at least 7 hours of continuous use. I’ll eventually wear them. I have several. Again semantics. The only issue I would warn against so far is the fact that they get INCREDIBLY slippery when they are wet. I have horrible skin. I dont regret this purchase a bit!
