These comfortable, ultra-lightweight leather shoes are labeled 'lobster', albeit they're more red than crablike. I started with the $20 plastic shoes, switched to the more comfortable but heavier and hotter Italian slip-ons (Skechers) and eventually discovered this unknown brand. She. Do not judge all shoes from this manufacturer, only the size. I also ordered the same size and brand but in perforated brown (nubuck 9.5). My right heel keeps slipping in it, making it impractical for long walks down the street. Perhaps a pair of "Born" made of lobster, more accurately carved than plucked from deerskin.
