I would recommend these shoes, however, i am pretty sure that Converse are more comfy than PFF. So, you might give it a shot and buy them, especially when the price is right:) The front of the shoes looks bulky and feel bulky as well, but you will use to it. Same weight as the converse shoes, maybe even lighter. i like that it looks like no other shoes, but it replicates the Converse design (or vice-versa).
