A friend sent me this link so I thought I'd share. Anyone tried these shoes yet?

Anyone using these?

[JR Redding]

I had a pair of these that were given to me as a replacement for a set of Sun Dragons.

These shoes are horribly designed. Very tight toebox. The lacing system has an interior part on each side of the show, that when added up is an 1/8th inch in thickness and will cause the sides of your feet to feel like they have went through an all day rubbing of sandpaper.

One of the worst shoes I have ever had and it consequently ended my relationship with GoLite whether for shoes, clothing, whatever.

Joe:

Not to defend Golite, but just be aware that Golite Footwear is completely separate from Golite so don't let your bad experiance with Golite footwear tarnish your opinion of the gear company. They are even owned by different companies.

I am fully aware of that Bradford. GoLite still lets their name be put on inferior products (they license it out). That does for me tarnish it with their apparel and gear. Because of the bad experiences I have had with both Timberland and New england Footwear (who have both made GoLite shoes) and GoLites refusal to acknowledge their name of their product, I wont buy either. Just my thing.
