Regardless of the brand, my running shoes invariably weigh more (50 to 80gm) than the weights quoted in either R4YL or RW shoe tests.
My usual shoe size is US 11 or 11.5.
Is there a standard size for specifying weight in these magazine tests?
Maybe size 3?

Some shoe companies weigh every size in each model and make the info publicly available

Some financial interest in above link however it costs nothing to click the link. :rolleyes:
