Hi-Tec V-Lite Radar Event

£60.00

LFTO rating rating is 4
Owners' rating rating is 4

This multi-activity shoe comes at a superb price for what you’re getting. The V-Lite Radar eVent is very light and yet it boasts the key features that anyone heading outdoors might find useful. Firstly it has a waterproof upper, thanks to its eVent lining. The toe box is very stiff, so it will provide good protection on rocky ground. Underfoot you get good cushioning plus adequate stiffness, so wearing these on rocky ground or hard surfaces is very comfortable. The lug pattern is reasonably good too for mud and grass slopes. This is a decent, all-round shoe that is lightweight, waterproof and practical for a wide range of activities.
However, the laces are a bit short, which is a little annoying. Also, we found the fit quite close in terms of length and width, so you might want to try a size up from normal (and those with wider feet may find these do not fit them so well).

 

Upper: one-piece, seamless synthetic; eVent waterproof lining
Sole: V-Lite MDT carbon rubber
Sizes: 7-12 (men’s); 4-8 (women’s)
Weight: 936g (pair, size 11)
Made in: China
Stores in the UK: 150

Verdict: A lightweight shoe that is waterproof and practical for walking, travel, mountain biking and general outdoor action, while the affordable price is the icing on the cake.

    Got these on the spur of the moment in Calver shoe store as they looked so good and for only £35.00. Went out on the hills around the Peak District the following week and did not want to take them off, Very comfortable and no water got in during the week and my feet stayed pretty cool due to events lining. A good low level walking trainer with waterproof liner and comfortable footbed ,and a bargain at the price,(even if you had to pay the full price).
