Shoes look lightweight. The suits are not developed to work in space, they are designed to protect astronauts during the flight in the Crew Dragon.
As the newspaper notes, this is the second photo of the costume. 23 Aug Musk showed a closeup of his helmet and the top. Entrepreneur noted that it’s a fully working version of the suit, not the layout. It was tested under double vacuum pressure.
