2 pounds 1 ounce is a very light weight . Can someone tell me if this is the weight of EACH boot or a pair . It seems too light to be for a pair . I am looking for a pair of boots to hike in severaL miles to a Sierra ice climb in california and want a very light boot with a 3/4 length shank ..... Simon in Joshua Tree , Ca.

My old pair of size 46 weigh 1150 g EACH. That's about 4.5 pounds per pair.I think bc.com has some wrong info regarding the weight of this boot. Each boot weighs 980 grams or 34.5oz which is still very lightweight considering this boot has a coated full-steel shank.
