GoLite footwear
« on: October 08, 2009, 11:14:42 AM »
Anyone here ever had an experience with shoes or boots from GoLite?  I don't even find info on their website, but Amazon.com has them and they are really inexpensive.

I can speak for the brand in general.  I have a sleeping bag from them and love it.

interested too....the Endurance Spike Trail looks promising......but how do they really hold up in the harshness of the Chihuahuan?

the price certainly seems to be right:

I had a hiking partner who had one of the Dragons, Sun I think. Anyway the uppers fell apart pretty quick but he said the soles were comfortable despite looking odd with the long lugs.

In a quick read of reviews that shoe had defective uppers in their early versions but I guess have fixed that problem.
