Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The North Face US official product page lists approximately 10.7 oz (303g) per half pair for the men's shoe.
Plate note
The complete exact official Luxembourg construction page and exact Zappos product details list the upper, DREAMBOUND midsole, SURFACE CTRL outsole, and GORE-TEX system without any carbon structure. Carbon_plate is therefore false; whether an unstated non-carbon internal plate exists is not established.
