I just can't find the weight of some of the stuff I found online; eg.
1. Lightfeet Revive (
https://www.theathletesfoot.com.au/ligh ... black.html)
2. Oofos (
https://www.wildfiresports.com.au/oofos ... sex-thongs)
Other suggestions including cheaper options are welcome. Don't want to carry a brick of a thong.

Yes GBG !!
And you can find those horrible sandals in two dollar stores,
silly light but not very stable on your feet though

Can't help you with those specific brands, but I do have a pair of Starfish thongs. These feature arch support and weigh 220g for a pair of size 45/M12 whatever that means.

Looked into that and managed to find a surprisingly very light pair of Billabong thongs for $19 without having to cut up a resting mat and make something slippery and with a short life.

The lightest are the slippers you get in hotels and on airlines. Just bought 20 from Alibarba, so once I have them in hand and weigh them, I'll post and sell for cost plus postage.
Bought some foldable bamboo toothbrushes as well.

After some great advice e from this forum, I bought some slides from Daisu
105 g for the pair and cost $2.80, I recall
Mine have seen the Thorsborne, GOW, Routeburn and Milford and still going strong.
The cheapest and easiest gear purchase to lighten the pack one is ever going to find!!

I've just bought a batch of airline/hotel slippers (20) that weigh 26g/pair. Cost about twice the price compared to buying a single pair, so why not. They fit my US12 4E comfortably but only just. Not sure how long they'll last but if you look after them, they could last a while.
I'll keep 10 pairs for myself, friends and family but if anyone wants a pair or 2, PM me and I can post them out or we can meet in Sydney CBD or my house on the Nth Shore.
$2/pair plus postage.
