These shoes are light and comfortable (for the most part,) BUT you will need to put something at the back of the ankle. They rubbed so bad and caused blisters/scabs on the back of my ankle. So I bought these little gel thingies from Steve Madden called Sweet Spots and put them on the shoe in the back, right up to the edge of the material, and that helped a lot. I also found that the heels and the balls of my feet started to hurt after a few hours. So I'd suggest a very thin insole or thin ball of feet and heel insoles for the shoe also.
