Cheap; the material it is made of isn't very flexible so when I walk, it feels stiff and awkward when the shoe bends (like when I am pushing up off the ground with the toes/front part of my foot). It is also not a breathable fabric, my foot was sweating a LOT after a 3 mile walk. The shoes ARE very light though, so light that I almost thought the shoe box was empty at first, before opening it and seeing the shoes inside.<br />I kind of regret this purchase but I comforted myself with the thought that at least some of it goes toward breast cancer research...
