Your shoes weight

Weight is very important part when we have to choice new shoes. Since there is no information about this on internet I think if everybody here will write his shoes weight it will help us to choice what shoes to buy.
To ask stores not always help. First not always they are ready to check shoes weight, second, sometimes numbers they give is not real.
For example, recently I asked one of stores to check weight shoes I wanted to buy. They told me that between 2-3 kilos

I still play a pair of Butterfly 808's but I can't find them anymore.. They are SUPER light. I really don't like playing with heavier shoes but once my 808's fall apart, I will have to change.. People might think that I'm poor when they see my old BTY 808's but I don't use them because I can't afford new ones.. I play them because I can't find shoes that are similar to the weight of the 808's..

That said, picturing you playing without either a MegaDeth or Guns N' Roses tee and a pair of red or blue 808s is just... well... not right.

Do you have a link to a place that has those shoes in stock??

Also, is this what you're looking for?

A couple of German shops have some for sure: • Power Spin • Contra • Schöler-Micke

Contra has them for 67 Euro.. not bad. I will check on how much shipping to the US would be..

265 grams acceptable?

Weight sounds perfect but the only issue I see is that they "look" to be a lot higher than the adidas shoe or the old BTY 808's.. What's nice abou tthe BTY 808's is because they were both, low and light..

in2spin wrote: yes, they do have a bigger foot print and the shoe does come up higher than the old 808s would but, the grip is absurd and they are pretty comfortable what i found about the old 808 style shoes was that, for me, personally, they were really hard on my feet, so, i went to a 'cross trainer' type shoe for a while, but have since started trending back toward the smaller footprint shoes :)

Yes, they are harder on the feet but I just loved how low and light they were. I really don't worry too much about extra grip as a little less grip is better for my right knee which has a tear in my right inner meniscus and aprupt stops or direction changes  aggrevate my knee. I need to have surgery eventually..maybe this winter..  I'm almost pain free right now but if there is additional stress on the knee, the pain might come back.. It has come back a few times..

BTY energy force 10 are 274g for a size 10

Very low - but still manufactured by Asics (so, good support).

I ended up buying the Energy Force X at the St. Louis open today with some of my winnings. $300 so far.. $100 for round of 16 in the ELITE Open, $50 for O-40 semi final and $150 for U-2300 final

Love those shoes! Light. low riding and very nice looking too..
