Like any other man, the first store he went into he tried on these and wanted them, without trying on any other shoes. Its not perfect and has quite a few flaws, but none that bothers me a lot for my particular use case. My final point about these shoes is that they come to a very, very small point at the tip of the heel. When they first arrived they looked amazing ! Why they have not made USB C the standard already continues to baffle me. YET Amazon can get me a new pair at full price within two days! These shoes might be ok for a day at the office, but not for long walks. I unplugged and replugged it and finally got it to work momentarily until it cut off yet again. However, it does not do much good if they keep falling out of your ears. Also, callers dont even know you are on a phone or driving on the road which is what you want.
