CWB 1.7 lbs boots?

#2 "Lightest on market - 1.7 lbs
I'm thinking of what the imaginary "*" on the end of that statement would say
*1.7lbs based on ________model of boot in size____"

1.7 lbs?! that is pretty incredible, but i doubt that is a size 12-13 boot measured there


Also while i have some CWB fans/experts eyes, i would like to ask how the "#5 Geometrically designed urethane heel" works? I look at that ad and i see the Gen6 Plate in red and it looks like it covers the entire heel area so that there is a plate between the foot and that heel piece. or is there a baseless area there i am not seeing? or does the plate flex/rock-back in the heel on impact? how is this cushioning piece utilized?

i live about 5 hours + from being able to see any new gear. i just came back from vacation and was able to see almost everything i wanted to see from most brands, but the higher-end CWB boots. the stores i hit did not have them and the one store that likely did...was closed at 3pm!! the videos i have found, though informative, leave this bit of info out.
