These shoes are probably about right for their price. Very lightweight and comfortable, but these are not athletic shoes whatsoever. The treads don't grip very well, and I can feel my feet slip at times, not badly, but my feet do slip a little. Also these shoes don't have a tongue on them, which I found very unusual. Basically they're closed-toed slippers really, and I bought these maybe a couple months ago, and I already need a new pair of shoes since these don't work for my intended activities as everyday shoes. Walking around? Sure you can wear them, they're very comfy and lightweight, but practicality is not a strength for these.
