lightweight, yes, good construction, no. First time I put these shoes on, one eyelet on EACH shoe, at the top, on the outside, pulled right out<br />of their grommets. I was not even pulling that hard, I was simply &#34; snugging&#34; up the shoe, and they came free immediately. No idea how long any of the other eyelets would last, but, completely unacceptable build quality. Sending back for a refund, and I will NOT be buying this brand again.
