As with almost all Rockport shoes, these are super lightweight.  I have the size 9.5 and each shoe weighs only 9.8oz.

Rockport switched from rubber to plastic soles on many of their shoes.  These indeed have plastic soles. I really wish they had stuck with rubber.  Plastic can be slippery, even with a bit of tread on the bottom. I can only assume they use plastic due to cost and weight.

The outside of the shoe is leather.  There is a standard amount of padding inside, though not a ton.  I still find the shoes comfortable to wear.
