Frequently Asked Questions
Are these truly lighter than the Size 9 variant?
Yes—0.9 lbs per boot vs. approximately 14 oz (0.875 lbs). The Size 10.5 is marginally heavier due to increased material volume, but the difference is negligible.
Do larger sizes sacrifice support?
No—the engineering translates well. Speed lace systems and EVA midsoles function equivalently across sizes. You get the same premium support.
