I also took a new pair of Keen Voyageurs with me on the trip. Just the right amount of comfort. There is no noise and its super easy to use. Didn?t think I would get much quality wise but was surprised, Loved the way they feel, they have a very padded sole. I love these aqua shoes. I highly recommend anyone looking for great cross ties that your horses cant break. They dont come w/instructions, but dont put them in the dryer, it will break down the elastic in the band over time (same reason we dont dry bras). Not sure what I can say other than they work well with my phones and do charge pretty fast, I presume these only work as fast chargers as it wont charge my Samsung watch. Theyre a little tight across . It was a Christmas present.
