Good luck learning something new.

I was asking you in a somewhat sarcastic way. It seems like a lot of people come to UPS after college because they can't find a job in the field that there degree is in.

aaah. Don't mind me, this was a fun conversation!
I am being honest when I say fit and not weight has to do more with your feet/legs becoming tired.
I'm a former jock who got college paid for (partial) and got to learn all this cool stuff with out any debt. I tried the office/cubicle/corporate trainer for a Fortune 100 company life (after college) but came to the conclusion I dislike most people and would rather converse with cardboard boxes.
Hopefully this info actually does help some of you in your next purchase. Take the time to get properly fitted and find out if you have any pronation issues.
*The human foot combines mechanical complexity and structural strength. The ankle serves as foundation, shock absorber and propulsion engine. The foot can sustain enormous pressure (several tons over the course of a one-mile run) and provides flexibility and resiliency.
The foot and ankle contain:
- 26 bones (One-quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet.);
- 33 joints;
- more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments (Tendons are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones and ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones.); and
- a network of blood vessels, nerves, skin, and soft tissue.

Who are you referring to? Are you one of those people who actually believe a few grams heavier shoe effects how tired your feet and legs are?
I don't know how to make this scientific fact more simpler to understand.
TL; DR version - see post #264 and its information.
It explains why your feet/legs become tired at the end of the day. Your legs become tired when the feet are not supported properly. Simple as that.
Please don't be be like some of my (union) brothers, who refuse to constitute a thought and only follows the ignorant masses.

Just like at work; slow down, look both ways and pay close attention.

No doubt about it. Amazing how stupid many of the old and grays are around here and their refusal to have a thought process.
I've explained over and over why its not the weight of the shoe yet still I sense a refusal to truly understand why.

Could it be that you know not that of which you speak?

Nope. Would it help if I started linking additional websites why your legs become tired and how its directly related to your feet being properly supported?
I'm amazed so many around here refuse to think about it.
Its not the weight of the shoe. The fat around your belly effects your back and legs more than a few grams heavier shoe.
Read post #264 again.
If you still don't get it take a break. Go to the bathroom, fly a kite, take a nap.
Come back later and reread post #264.
If you still don't get it, continue on with your miserable non-thought provoking life.

When it comes to this particular subject obviously I am a lot more educated than you.
I'll repost the important part. Slow down and try paying attention.
*The human foot combines mechanical complexity and structural strength. The ankle serves as foundation, shock absorber and propulsion engine. The foot can sustain enormous pressure (several tons over the course of a one-mile run) and provides flexibility and resiliency.
The foot and ankle contain:
- 26 bones (One-quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet.);
- 33 joints;
- more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments (Tendons are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones and ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones.); and
- a network of blood vessels, nerves, skin, and soft tissue.
If any of those hundreds of muscles, tendons and ligaments are not supported properly it leads to your legs becoming tired.
In other words- hey dummy, its not the weight of the shoe.

Liagaments and tendons huh...what are those. According to this MRI of my bad ankle taken over a year ago (the injury to which was sustained over 20 years ago)...I have a chronic tear of the anterior talofibular ligament and a partial tear of the distal posterior tibial tendon...my podiatrist and my orthopedic have recommended that I wear lighter boots to not exacerbate this permanent and chronic condition. What boots do you recommend Dr...oh wait...fellow PRELOADER??
