Claimed Vs Measured Weight, By Model

21 models with a usable weight figure, sorted by measured ounces (or the only figure on file). Two dots joined by a line pair the brand's claimed spec against an independent measurement of the same model; a single dot means only one figure exists — no pair was invented.

Method

Ran 20+ targeted searches (WebSearch) pairing each model with 'weight', 'oz', 'size 9', 'spec' to surface manufacturer product pages and reviewer measurements, then verified every candidate figure by fetching the actual page with WebFetch before use. RunRepeat pages were prioritized where available because they lab-weigh every shoe at a standardized men's US 9 (confirmed via their testing-methodology page) and separately report the brand's claimed spec, giving clean claimed-vs-measured pairs at identical sizes. Doctors of Running spec boxes were used for brand-claimed weights when RunRepeat hadn't tested a model; their spec boxes explicitly state the tested/claimed size. Two pages (Switchback Travel, Solereview) returned HTTP 403 on direct WebFetch and were successfully re-fetched through the r.jina.ai reader proxy. REI product pages (Chaco Z/1 Classic, Teva Hurricane XLT2) consistently 403'd or timed out on both direct fetch and the jina proxy and were dropped in favor of RunRepeat's Teva measurement, which was accessible. Nike.com, Hoka.com, Brooks.com, and Home Depot product pages also failed to load (403/header-overflow/bot-check) and were substituted with retailer or review-site citations of the same manufacturer spec where the number could be corroborated.

Gaps

Salomon Speedcross 6 (trail): every source gave a weight (10.5oz/298g) but none tied it to a specific US size, so per the size-omission rule it was dropped entirely rather than guessed. Chaco Z/1 Classic and Z/Cloud sandals: REI (which lists a per-shoe weight spec) was unreachable (403 on direct fetch and the jina proxy), and CleverHiker's measured pair weight didn't disclose a tester size — we couldn't find a size-verified Chaco figure, so the sandal category is represented only by Teva. Dress shoes: very few brands publish weight specs at all; Allen Edmonds and Cole Haan were the only two we could source, both at different sizes (8.5 and 10), so there's no true apples-to-apples claimed-vs-measured pair in this category. Work boots: same problem — Red Wing (measured, size 12) and Timberland PRO (claimed, size 9) are different sizes and different models, so there's no single work-boot model with both claimed and measured figures at matching sizes. Category-level average weights broken out specifically by road vs. trail vs. racing (as opposed to RunRepeat's overall lightweight/average/heavy bands across their whole catalog) — we couldn't find one; RunRepeat's own guide explicitly combines trail and road data without a category split.
