Your shoes weight

I use Nike Elastico Finale II. These are incredibly lightweight, flexible and grippy. I can roll the shoe up like a newspaper. There isn't much support in this shoe though. These are said to weigh approximately 225 grams. I'm not sure if that's one or two shoes. If someone knows, please tell me.

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..

Why does it matter, you barely move?

It seems like Pushblocker and I like the same kinds of shoes, and it is not the weight, it is the flexibility that matters, along with being low.  Normally of course the very flexible shoes are the light ones.  I often replace the insole with something with extra cushion (Lke a Dr. SCholls sport gel insole) and then I can have both flexibility and some support.  I have used bare running shoes and they were good for TT on a Gerflor but after a couple of months gave rise to some Achilles tendon issues for me that I am still dealing with, so be careful (or be young).

I've never tried insoles as they raise riding height. I also have to be careful as I do have a tear in my right inner meniscus and I "might" need surgery.. I was in pain for almost a year but recently, the pain from my meniscus has stopped without any reason.. I know that it has a tear as I had the MRI done and the orthopedic surgeon recommended surgery a year ago but it's now a year later, and I've been pain free for about a month now.

I have been using Merrill Trail Gloves for the past 2-3 years (14 oz. pair).
