I absolutely fell in love with these shoes from the moment I took them out of the box.
I can ramble on about the snazzy color (I tested the navy blue), the rugged and stable construction of the sole, excellent quality of workmanship, and the instructions on how to custom fit these shoes with GoLite’s Precise Fit System—but, I won’t. To me, it’s how quickly a shoe breaks in from wearing that is the most important part of shoe testing. So I immediately removed them from the box, slipped them on and took off for a five mile trail walk. WOW! They fit so well that my feet were singing their praises from the very first step. It’s as if these shoes were custom made for me.
Typically, I have to use an orthotic to keep my high arches from screaming bloody murder. Well, two months of every day wear later, and the orthotics haven’t been required. Also, even when out and about in wet conditions, my feet have stayed nice and dry. During a recent trip to Ireland, the Trail Lite was my only pair of footwear, and they looked stylish, felt great all day long, and made it possible for me to participate in all modes of our adventure—hiking, biking, city touring, shopping, wining, and dining.
Bottom Line:
These shoes are a great testament to the fine workmanship and design that GoLite Footwear represents. They offer great comfort; stability on uneven trails and pavements; waterproof yet breathable in a lightweight shoe. This is a shoe that works well for travel, hiking and just kicking around town. I can dress them up or dress them down, but I certainly won’t be leaving home without them!
