I always thought VH was lighter than Mako/ Mako II. I recall when VH first launched people were saying something like 680 grams (I cannot recall for which size boot, of course this is crucial when comparing skate weights). Funny observation about your feet getting cold. I only skated once in a legit rink with my Mako IIs (the IceHouse in Pasadena), and my feet were freezing. I play in SE Asia in rinks that masquerage as zoos, in open malls for all the spectators and passers-by to see the animals (us), so it gets relentlessly hot. My feet and skates somehow stay relatively dry (may be the 37.5 socks too), but the rest of me, especially my upper body, ends up drenched in sweat (even tho I have 37.5 shirt).
