jdarun Oct 2017 8:21pm, 15 Oct 2017 1,962 posts	0 jdarun 323g for a dainty size sounds like a bit of a boat anchor - my clog comment on Bazo's blog was supposed to be a joke but now I'm not so sure! There much be room for quite a saving there. I see pretty much everyone else here also does the "occasional run and race" thing with lightweight shoes which seems like the obvious approach.

larkim Oct 2017 8:35pm, 15 Oct 2017 3,067 posts	0 larkim I might need to ask Santa for some lightweights but I'd be nervous running that far on tarmac in anything other than familiar training shoes. But I guess if I don't try I'll not know what the difference feels like.
Bazoaxe Oct 2017 9:01pm, 15 Oct 2017 12,002 posts	0 Bazoaxe jda, decided to weigh and came in at 285g for my foot size.....
Windsor Wool Oct 2017 9:09pm, 15 Oct 2017 3,231 posts	0 Windsor Wool What size are you Baz? That's not that heavy. I weighed my shoes for comparison, size 41/42: Tempo boost: 230g Boston boost: 222g Kinvara: 201g Vaporfly: 188g So there's a bit to save but not actually that much...
