how about recommendations for a good light weight shoe? honig's K90 claim to be 2.5lb for low top and 3lbs for hi-top. sounds much lighter than +POS or gerry davis shoes with the heavy goodyear sole.
thx.

My assignor and his son both have the K90 low tops from Honig's, and they like them, and I think they look sharp. They do feel lighter than the +POS and GD shoes.
I don't have patent leathers myself, but I use Shape Up, which lasts and lasts (over a month of games between applications), shines brilliantly, does not build up excessively, and is very low maintenance (just wipe shoes with damp rag then buff with a T-Shirt or polishing cloth).

I guess if I get any lazier, I will get the patent leathers!
