Oh annoying - they advertised the weight as 88 g per pair. They got it wrong! It's 88 gram per shoe.
Which is frustrating because I only bought them for the low weight to have them as camp shoes in a UL pack set-up. I already have Furoshuki shoes, and these are barely lighter so I would never have bought them. Grrr!

EmmaLAren't the Furoshuki shoes 300+g for the pair which would make these almost half the weight? Granted, sucks they said 88g for the pair, they should correct that for future drops.

CampCatskillIn a size 40, my Furoshuki shoes are 268 g for the pair, and my Five Fingers are 195g for the pair. I was expecting my Five Fingers shoes were going to be around 100 grams (based on the advertised weight of 88 gram for the pair in smaller size, so I imagined around 100 g in my size).
Had I know the Five Finger shoes were going to be 195 grams, I would never have bought them. And for me it was all the more expensive as I live in Australia, hence paid shipping to Australia.
This is an "Ultralight" group, so surely Massdrop should understand we're all about weight and counting grams to keep our hiking backpack base weight low.
Best, Emma

EmmaLI agree, it should have been more clear and the international shipping sucks but bright side is that 2oz is 2oz.
You could always go the super-ultralight (and super cheap) route and use hospital booties ;)
