REI has these on sale for $64.93. There is currently a 20% off coupon that is applicable to sale items also. With this coupon the shoes come out to $51.95. Coupon is good till Sept 16.

You must be a member to use the coupon. If your local REI does not carry the shoes then go to REI.com

These are probably from the first batch that had the weak upper cloth.
Unless you are doing anything other than light trail hiking, I would strongly not recomend getting these.

The new batch out will fix the problem.

Yes- my pair were from the first batch and they split right across the forefoot on top. Golite has been really cool with the warranty though- no issues there. But if they blow in the middle of a big hike, well no warranty will help you there…

I bought a pair last weekend. How does one tell if they are from the first or second batch? I heard about the problems with the early ones but assumed that stuff selling now would be the new ones.

I just sent back a pair to Zappos yesterday due to fitment problems. Right foot felt great but on the left the plasticy stuff on the lower sides pinched my pinky toe when I stood on my toes. Of course I also had to send back the Inov8 Terrocs due to rubbing on my inner ankle joint also on the left foot. I can't find shoes that fit my feet to save my life.

Hey Chris – have you tried a rubbing bar? It'll stretch problematic spots in boots. Stores such as REI, EMS, etc should have one or a bootfitter. I've had boots that rubbed my little toes or big toes but worked wonderfully after getting stretched a little.

I haven't but I don't think it would've fixed this…seemed more like a design flaw.The shoe actually creased and pushed in so much that it pinched my toe.

Little sizing tip, they come in whole sizes, if your on the cusp i think it would be wise to size down, like i didn't. The spike tails definatly are intersting though, the scree collar is really tight and has a nice non movable tongue, so no more stuff caught in my shoes.
