I'm curious. What do you prefer about that wall charger compared to the standard folding bricks? Is it any lighter?

It's not arrived yet, should be here tomorrow.

I bought it as it's very slim and not bulky like standard Fast/IQ chargers so perfect for packing. Also the folding charges I have tried in past have not been fast chargers, although this was a few years ago. This was the best looking one that caught my eye, USB-C based and Fast/IQ charge.

Which folding chargers are you referring to, Are you currently using one?

The standard Samsung ones are light, compact and do 15W.

:eeker: Yowcher, that's a beauty!! Socks or shoe issues?
Sounds stupid... But I really don't know!
I maintained the other foot as I had a a hot spot at 20 miles... Both feet were checked and maintained.. The next ten miles and the opposite foot grew that egg! I've done long hard miles in both the socks and shoes... I'm suspecting the combination of heat from the roads, fire tracks and trails, combined with fastpacking and gaiters sealing in the heat... Made miles 30 to 40 stiff going... Then I jacked... #dnf

Shame, but better to quit before any serious damage is done. Hope it clears up soon.

This one:

uk-fast-charging-adapter-ta20u-ep-ta20uweuggb-white-Origin-133710582

EU one ends up slightly smaller and lighter but it's v compact and a nice shape too.

It is quite compact compared to the usual 3-pin charging "bricks" but worth getting the slimmer continental alternative if travelling there (and save the adaptor). Btw, the 2-pin fits UK sockets if you release the 3rd pin lock (for the occasional use). The samsung fast chargers side by side:
