For those who are looking for light weight mary jane style shoes that have athletic shoe style support and cushioning these are the ones. They are great for traveling. They take up very little room in one's suitcase. They support and cushion one when pounding the pavement, walking along cobble stone streets or scampering over rocky surfaces. In addition, if you buy them in one of the dark or neutral colors you can even wear them into a proper restaurant, theatre or concert hall because they don't look like athletic shoes.
I was so impressed with their casual to dressy look yet athletic-orthopedic performance that I bought a total of 3 pairs in the color black since women's shoe styles are always a casualty of fashion -" here today gone tomorrow"!!
