Ive been caught in a number of rainy days with these shoes and I cant recommend them highly enough. I even tried going all the way down to easy so I could at least get through the story, but it barely helped. It has a pretty decent range and the audio is incredible. The most flimsy swab ever. They wouldve gotten a 5 start from me otherwise. My feet do not bend because the bones have been fused to include the toes and other main joints. Im very impressed with this overall. I think they look great, too! i had this issue with previous kraken models and made it hard to wear them for long sessions. Plus, they are so cheap that they are almost disposable.
