Taffeta made of 40-d nylon is used to make the shoes’ backs. Sixty grams, or slightly more than a tenth of a pound, is the down weight. These shoes weigh slightly more than one-third of a pound in total. They are now available in black, gray, red, blue, navy, and gray. Unfortunately, they are not yet for sale.
