Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The adopted 275g value is the approximate US9 half-pair weight from Goldwin's official Japan NF02601 page. The official US NF0A8DAJ page lists approximately 277g, retained as a regional-page difference.
Plate note
Goldwin official product page lists DREAM foam and SurfaceCTRL rubber outsole and does not state a carbon plate; checked Altamesa collection context describes the non-plate Altamesa concept.
