GoLite Sun Dragon Trail Running Shoe

At first look the new GoLite shoes are a little overwhelming, big lugs, big toe box, bulky. But get them on your feet and you will quickly realize that GoLite did their homework! These shoes are quite light and ride low in the heel and forefoot, making them very stable on technical terrain. The shoes are also very cushy without being destabilizing. I tried on both models and felt the "speed model" was more comfortable and had a closer fit for my narrower heel. This is a shoe that makes you want to keep running. The shoes run a little big, and they have a very wide footbox, great for folks who have wider feet, though they can be made to fit tighter if you use the integrated insoles. Nice construction, durable, great laces, nicely padded tongue, and they don't hold mud.

I've used the Sun Dragon for just under a year so far. The shoes are comfortable and very light weight. As mentioned the lugs are gigantic and this is definitely a plus. The sole is slippery when wet but otherwise grips very well. Although mine have held up very well, I have only taken them on moderate to light trails and general use. I can definitely see the possibility of damage on more rugged trails due to the weight of the material. Overall a great purchase for lighter to moderate trails if you are looking for a comfortable lightweight shoe.

I live on Capitol Hill, DC...miles from the mountains of Colorado where these shoes were developed..my running route is over marble steps on the Lincoln Memorial, the Supreme court, concrete side walks and trails scattered with tourists and geese. These shoes provide cushioning and stability like no pair I've ever owned. My knees are in heaven as is the rest of my body. If you want a shoe that runs with you not against you[these are them! Will buy another pair (and another)!

I bought these for my boyfriend and a pair of lady ones for myself. I love the ingenious way that you can easily adjust the shoes for widths wide, average, and narrow with inserts that are included in the shoe box. We do a bit of hiking every week over rocky terrains and I run on a 2 1/2 mile trail several times a week. These shoes do give level support in an ultralite format. Has a very comfortable and roomy toe box.

Go Lite and Timberland produced a winner in the new Go Lite trail running shoes. I have used many different trail running shoes and the Go Lite shoes perform very well. The larger toe box makes this shoe very comfortable. So far I have taken these shoes on any kind of trail and haven't been disappointed. They are very breathable and have a durable tread. I will definitely buy these again when the first pair wears out.

I bought these shoes and ran hard in them for only six weeks before the tread was torn up, and the upper mesh was ripped. They are very comfortable, but they didn't hold up as they should have. I sent them in to Go Lite five weeks ago and am still waiting on a replacement pair. I want to like them, but they fell apart too quickly for me to buy another pair.

Lite comfort. I've worn these in very rocky downhill races with some steep climbs. Also in mud and sand dunes. For racing and tough trail training. The unique perform well in all conditons and do better than heavier shoes. The mesh uppers wear out rapidly but that is the tradeoff for light weight. For 50 bucks you can't really complain. This is my second pair.

I am a woman but wear size 10 men's shoes (unfortunately). These are nice, although the toe box is a little big for someone with narrow feet. Also, I've had them about 1 month and have worn them a few days a week and for hiking and the top of one is getting a hole where it bends.

Bought these shoes to play outdoor grass volleyball in. I've had several trail runners that I've used for this purpose, and these are by far the best! Great stability, traction, and after a full day of playing, I didn't have any black toenails (as I have with every other shoe I've tried). Great shoe!

Light as you would expect. Looks great. Not water resistant - but not advertised as so. Lugs are pretty big, but feels great on a hike. Don't use on a pavement - but again not what the shoe was designed to do. Yes, I would recommend the shoe and the manufacturer.
