Yep, I also like a little traction from my sole too. Many of the light weights have little threads to keep weight down. Rubber isn't light, but all one need is a little slip and there goes the trip on a good day but breaking something on the way down will seal the deal. The mid sole shank would be the bust selling point for me.
Dave, think of it this way, riding light weight road wheels and tires on the trail is a no go, it will work but for how long. The weight given up is lost on performance from lack of grip or similar to riding with tennis shoe instead of road shoe and pedals on a 50 mile ride.
