These are very lightweight. The sole is more substantial than past go walks, making them better for longer walks. I have worn Skechers of all kinds for years, and these are much shorter than my other Skechers, so beware of that before you order. In the regular width of the black I had to go up a full size. The toe is more pointy in the black regular ones. I have the black and white in wide and it's squared off. I probably could have gone up a half size, but I kept them and they are ok. Unfortunately I wore the mediums out of the house, but even with thin Swiftwick socks, they just aren't comfortable. I've donated them and someone a size smaller than me can enjoy them! My favorites for comfort are the Skechers Premium and D'Lites. None of their other styles (and I've tried a bunch of them) are nearly as comfortable.
