The base of this shoe is rather heavy and clunky. I should have gotten the 8 (i wear an 8.5) and this is definitely a 9 in the regards that it is too large on my foot. I LOVE the colors and the 'comfort' part under the sole of my foot is good.  I had gotten better quality with a pair of UnderArmour last year. i wouldn't buy this again simply for the fact that it is too heavy as an all day wear slip-slop.
