Weight to Cushion Ratio

Heel cushioning + forefoot cushioning / weight of shoe = weight to cushion ratio

Correct?

Such as:

Pegasus 35

28+18/266=0.173

Hoka Clifton 1

29+24/239=0.222

Sketchers Go Run 7

24+30/262=0.21

(US9)

Vaporfly

31+21/184=0.28

There is evidence that decent cushioning supports running economy.

20+24/181=0.28

Go Run Razor 3

That's the cushion to weight ratio.

And I think you mean (Heel cushioning + forefoot cushioning) / weight of shoe = (28+18)/266.

28+18/266 = 28.07

28+18/266 = 28.07

Both methods work. It’s a useful metric, as the most well thought of shoes are scoring highly.

Teach me, master.

37 heel + 33 forefoot = 70

10.8 oz = 306 grams

70/306 = 0.23

Where'd I go wrong?

You said Bondi. Not Bondi 6, try harder.
