Very comfortable and light. I got these for kayaking, wanted light weight and soles without deep tread so I wouldn't bring a lot of mud into my kayak. I have had several other pairs of Tevas, and have always been happy with the quality and sturdiness. I've had problems with the straps ripping loose with cheaper sandals- when your feet are wet they slide and put a lot of strain on the straps. Tevas hold up.
