Light Shoes

These shoes:

have most of what I want in a shoe. They are 100% synthetic, the insole comes out for quick drying and they are light. I bought size 12 and the pair comes in under 1.5 pounds total weight.

They were the Deal of the Day a while back which reduced the price to under $27 per pair. At $39 they are still reduced quite a bit, however.

Wow. That is a nice price; and a nice weight. I’d be interested to see how they grip on wet sloping granite. My buddy’s Hi-Tec hiking boots turns into ice skates in that scenario.
