The shoe very comfortable. We even drove through about 3 hours of rain and everything stayed dry. I had the basic idea. All instruments separate and clear. It was try these out or buy a new pair of Bose since the o briginal pads in mine were shot. 5/5It is an excellent value for the price. The womens version of this shoe was too narrow. Or better still, spend a bit more and avoid any bike rack that uses rubber straps. The bike rack needs a hitch tightener with the pin and clip fastener. Got these the end of June, wanted them for fall/winter in northeast.
