It seems to have enough charge that I have not recharged it in a week now. It made quick changes at recital that much easier! cheap plastic with locking position teeth, works ok but not sure for how long, plenty of adjustable positions is a plus. The series is very clever and makes the hair on my arms stand up. For me, the price is a bit off-putting, but as I know theyre a good fit and I felt like treating myself I went ahead and bought them. They are super comfy and look expensive and effortless. sometimes it gets too hot, And they still look good - the suede uppers clean up nicely with a little brush. Bought these on cyber Monday when were half price. My 9 year old still feels like a princess in this dress, highly recommend!
