Theyre fairly light weight. These are very comfortable and have excellent metatarsal support. She says they are comfortable, and she is wearing them every day. No where near as durable, long lasting, versatile or useful. This speaker has a very nice design and packaging.

But it should definitely deter someone. I wear an 11 Mens in a Samba or Campus by Adidas pretty consistently, but an 11 Mens in these guys is really tight. Needed something sturdy for clothes.
