They are very lightweight. Some people have loved them. The trouble I had with them is the insoles are not designed to be removed. They are glued in. So anyone who uses custom orthotic insoles should NOT buy this shoe. After ripping out the insoles, I tried to make them work for about 2 weeks, but just haven't been satisfied with them. I can't return them now so I'll probably just throw them away and buy the Ecco ones like I had before.
