Lightest MTB Shoes

[racer1]

Hi all,

I have used the search and google to try and find the lightest mtb shoes. Every post seems to be two to three years old that comes up when I search. I wear a 46 in Shimano M315's and they weigh about 460 grams per shoe. My bontragers are at 455 grams per shoe. I purchased the PI octane 2 sl's and they came in at about 475 grams.

Is there anything out there with a substantial weight savings? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

I've just weighed my new size 47 Bont Vaypour XC fresh out of the box and they are 380g ea without cleats if that helps?

How do you like those shoes? They are expensive, but they look like they are cheap quality...

Have you seen a pair of custom shoes? Do you actually have any idea what you're talking about?

I do.. more than you. I asked a question. If you dont like it dont answer! You understand that?

No need to quote the post before you.

I asked because most people have barely seen a pair close up.

The R7 logo stitching looks really dated, but other than that they look like about half a dozen other custom shoes. So not sure why you think they're cheap.



Using this pic as an example - If those were my shoes, I may be a little sad to see some of the glue from bonding the MTB tread to the carbon sole but this is hardly any different than many stock shoes.
