I thought they were pretty comfortable at first and theyre cute. I also enjoy the velcro strap on the back allowing easier slip on and off, and adjustable for comfort fit. This game is so good. Ive also had surgery to repair a broken ankle and have several knee problems (infrapatellar bursitis, Osgood-Schlatter disease & Patellofemoral pain syndrome) so I go out of my way to wear only comfortable shoes. Sturdy straps. But far as the charge Ill give it 1hr and itll be 100% Theyve held up very well since getting them and we loaded them down. I’m very happy with them! I get this model again and again but this one was smaller than expected. couldn’t find one in any of the big box stores!
