So disappointing AND extremely frustrating. This does create some road noise that you?ll notice (because any roof rack will), but not enough to make me remove these. Somehow the zip portion makes a lot of noise while walking. The headset seems to be fussy and doesn?t quite know what it?s doing at times. I will wear it but not the kind of shoe to catch eyes. Love, Love, Love these shoes. That doesnt mean that they are uncomfortable to wear, but there is a notable difference so just something to consider. They are legit metal and for me that worked perfectly. Charges well and I have gotten years out of one set. The soft inside feels so good on my toes!
