this is a very comfortable shoe and lightweight for sure.  It is stretchy and that is what makes it comfortable on the other hand it also makes the support factor kind of squirely.  I wish I had bought the black or navy or even a fun color-  I have not had long enough to experience what the durability of the sole will be.  They seem to fit fine with our without socks.  I may buy another pair of these.  A plus was that I was able to take my regular hour walk in these shoes-right out of the box
