Weight of Northwave Razer ( MTB shoes ) which I'm using on road bike is around 365 grams( one shoe ) ,comparing to road shoes ,for example Sidi Genius 7 with 316 grams per shoe we don't have huge, noticeable difference. Of course there are very light road shoes like Giro Imperial with 220 grams per shoe, but shoes like Giro are not my story if I'm looking for comfort and versatility.
Shimano PD-A600 weigh at 290 grams /pair and comparing to , for example again, Look Keo Blade Carbon Ceramic Ti with weigh at 260 grams/pair Shimano's doesn't seems to be heavy ( but are much cheaper for sure ).
Anyway , its hard to say which set ( mtb or road shoes/pedals ) are " One And Only" as it's very depends of personal expectations.
