As a martial artist who demands comfortable, supportive shoes and a shoe-loving girlie girl, I can truly say that these shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. They are more than ''lightweight''; they are barely there, yet the soles are supportive enough to walk in them all day. They are so cute, and the silhouette of the shoe is flattering from all angles, including the wearer's ''bird-eye view'', unlike many other ''athletic-casual'' style shoes. Basically, these shoes are functional, stylish, and they don't make your feet look big: a perfect 10!!
