Minimalist and Backpacking Footwear

[Backpacking Light]

Companion forum thread to: Minimalist and Backpacking Footwear

In this guide, we’ll explore the primary categories of footwear for backpacking and hiking, including minimalist footwear, examining their unique benefits, limitations, and use cases.

The Xero Mesa II are 7.8 oz per shoe, not what you have listed (it looks like you left out the “per pair”).

In general I would suggest listing the per pair numbers for all shoes for an easier comparison, no reason not to be consistent.

I have been using Vivo Magna Forest ESC but just switched to Mesa II’s to see if they perform as well.  The Magnas have been great all-around hiking shoes but are heavy.
