These are the lightest, most comfortable sneakers I've ever had.  When I say they are light, they are extremely light!  The soles are made out of a lightweight material (think croc's) with a very durable fabric upper portion.  So easy to slip on and off and they go with so many outfits.  Perfect with jeans or shorts.  I believe that I red you can throw them into the washer when they get dirty.  They are my new "go to" sneakers.  I love them and my only problem now is what other colors to get!
