Extremely light shoe. but sturdy and well made. I was surprised to see that the shoes are mainly "slip-ons" (fake laces) - I think I should have read the description more carefully. But no matter - these shoes fit perfectly. The heel doesn't slip when walking like most slippers I've had. Since the shoes have eyelets, you can probably switch to laces at any time. Got a very large size - glad I did. I plan to buy another set in a different color soon!
