These shoes look great, fit well, and are lightweight. Comfy for cruising around the house, shopping, or easy walks. For me, they don't have enough support, cushioning, or a solid enough sole for running. I tried walking in them at the beach, and damp sand made it through the sole and got my socks wet.  If you shine a flashlight into the shoe, you'll see light coming through the thin, honeycomb-like sole. Nice as closed-toed sandals or water shoes, though! :)
