Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Topo Athletic Japan lists 264 g for men's M9; the same model page lists 218 g for women's W7.
- Plate note
- The exact official JP men's page provides a complete construction description covering the ZipFoam midsole, Vibram XS Trek EVO outsole, upper, and core specifications. Fleet Feet's exact men's page corroborates that construction without identifying a carbon structure, so carbon_plate remains false. The presence or absence of any non-carbon plate structure is not asserted.
