Dominator (706g) + SH51 (52g) + M540 (352) = 1110g
That's a difference of 152g (I got similar results for other models as well) while walking shoes average 750g. Running shoes are about 270g.
Also FWIW, the ES600 (single sided SPD) weighs only 279g per pair.
But I get it. If you're going to be walking around, you're going to want a pair of regular shoes no matter what. But for that matter, I'd have those shoes on for the stairs and wait until I'm at my bike to put them in the backpack.
Speaking of backpacks, I would be more worried about looking fredly with one of those than with "mountain bike" shoes.
