Yea, I am on vacation so it won't be till Sunday. Sorry. Another thing is they pack closer, I wrap a heavy rubber band around them a stash them in my pack.
One thing spins if your in between sizes order down as well, the pair I have ran a little big.

Amazon lists the " shipped weigh" as 11 oz, pretty sure that includes the package

I use a $3 pair of drug store Croc knock offs. 8 oz for size 10's. I sometimes bring old pair of cotton socks to go with them.

I always bring my knock off crocs. Nothing better then pulling my sweaty feet out of mountaineering boots, putting on some nice dry socks, and slipping into the crocs for hanging out in camp. If it's really wet or it's raining I put on a pair of waterproof socks. They also work pretty good for water crossings. Not super light at 11 oz. for size 10 but well worth the weight IMO.

I just can't figure out how to get them on my feet.

Damn that's light.. $15 to save 4oz off my crocs.. Done!

BTW, I called them to see what the difference between the Hounds and the Dawgs are. The Dawgs are their newer design and are slightly heavier (about 1.2 oz or so). I went with the Hounds...

Those are the ultra light hounds sorry for the confusion. Also to clarify my crocs were 9.8oz these hounds are 10.3oz but are full shoe style not sandal like crocs. Hounds have a slight arch to which to me increased comfort. I'm wearing them right now testing to continue

I think they run a little big, especially bare footed. However there are times I have my wool hunting socks on as well and they fit fine over that. I even slip into the, to finish a stalk if I am getting stickers though my socks.

Would a 8-9 size work with a foot that is normally 10.5-11 or would that be TOO tight?

I am a solid 10wide, I bought the 10/11. I really don't know if the 8/9 would work. if get are still on sale its probably with the 15 bucks to try both
