[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1178478, member: 55747"] I understand where you are coming from but my advice would be not to overthink it. Although boot sizes are somewhat standardized different boots/brands have slightly different lasts (shapes). Looking just at weight might be misleading in the sense that sometimes you could end up giving up other things like, dunno, grip or comfort. I get the thought process: wing==> speed ==> lighter boots. I do. But ask yourself how much difference is that going to make? Imo comfort is paramount, but again, that is very personal. Maybe another player from the team has those boots/size and you can try them out for a couple of laps or sprints? Not likely, i know, but you've got nothing to lose by asking around or having a look. Probably not the kind of answer you were looking for. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
