Who's ever seen another foldable zipper-closed shoe? Seriously.  These shoes are awesome.

PROS (huge pros because I am very picky):

1) Folds in half and zips closed, with a hook for attaching to a backpack.  The fabric is protected from dirt when traveling which keeps the shoes clean.

2) Super lightweight fabric upper.  Nylon is durable and very comfortable.  Doesn't breath as well as cotton or mesh, but is the next best choice.

3) No traditional laces!  Uses "quick laces" - much lighter and easier to use.  Love em.

4) Flat footbed.  Awesome!  It's so hard for me to find a shoe that isn't angled or shaped.  Most shoes have raised heels and "arch support" which, in my opinion, experience as a healthcare professional and research, causes posture imbalances leading to foot pain, pronation/supination, low back pain, knee and hip pain, etc.  Over 99% of shoes I will not wear for this very reason.  I have spent years and thousands of dollars learning about posture and mobility, even lectured about it.  The modern style of shoes are so harmful for our bodies.  Post a comment below if you want to know more.  I can recommend books.

CONS (but not really):

1) Weigh 9 oz per shoe or a little over 1 lb for the pair.  This is about 15-25% lighter than most shoes, but am used to 'barefoot style' shoes that weigh 5-7 oz for the pair.  So these are a bit heavier than what I like on my feet.  (I'm a minimalist, Zen-style yogi health nut type.)  But for most people, these shoes will be lightweight or average.  It's the density of the rubber that adds the weight; the fabric is super light.

2) Tab on the zipper rubs the ground... but not if you flip the tab up.  The pull tap will stay upright and not touch the ground when walking, if you set it.

OVERALL

For short trips to the store, vacations, backpacking/camping, post exercise, etc. these shoes are simply amazing.  Very comfortable, light weight, proper footbed and unique styling.  This will not be my last pair of these.  Enjoy!
