This is a fun and quirky shoe that will get a lot of attention, especially the red one that I bought. My comments:1) They are quite comfortable, like sneakers. The soles are well cushioned and the fabric material is light, flexible, and breathes well. I can wear these all day with no problem.2) They are extremely light - materially lighter than most of the (many) running shoes that I have bought. I was initially concerned about these shoes durability. However, after some time, they still do not have any signs of excessive wear.3) My only complaint so far is that the laces seem quite cheap. They are made of soft cotton and do not seem particularly strong or durable. Of course, if these become an issue, they are easy to replace.I really have no regrets in buying these shoes. They will stand out due to their unusual design, but that is part of the fun.
