Its well constructed for sure. definitely not real. Working on 3rd month, sure is a lot of money to continue with unnoticeable results She enjoys not having to worry about tieing her shoes and I like how easy they are to keep ckean. I wish there was an EQ app you could adjust the sound with, but. The other cons are the button feel is hard compared to the method actives and you also dont get a carry case. I took the insole out and put my foot in—-the shoe fit perfect. looks great It packs a huge punch for such a small package. So you will only be able to charge one at a time.
