Product Description
The award-winning TrekSta Men's Evolution Mid GTX multi sport trail shoe utilizes TrekSta's unique NestFIT system to provide excellent fit, comfort and support. This versatile, all-terrain shoe is perfect for day hikers and fast-packers. TrekSta combines unique elements to the design and fit of every shoe they make so your shoes won't inhibit you on or off the trail. TrekSta's NestFIT last is designed to account for every contour of the human foot, eliminating unnecessary gaps and pressure points. This precise, contoured design is also found in the upper, insole, midsole and outsole of the Men's Evolution Mid GTX. The GORE-TEX waterproof/breathable materials of the synthetic upper mirror the contact points of the big toe, the curve of the other four toes and the indentation of the arch and instep while the insole matches the curves and contours of the bottom of the foot. Three different densities of EVA are used to ensure the correct amount of support to each area of the foot. A Lightweight, Zero Gravity EVA midsole reinforces the support of the insole and upper of the Men's Evolution Mid GTX while a TPU heel counter protects the bottom of the foot from shock and provides torsional support to the ankles. The IceLock Hypergrip outsole equals traction in all wet or dry conditions and varied terrain.

Like most hikers, I am always searching for the perfect boot or hiking shoe. I want something light, waterproof, supportive, comfortable, reasonably priced, and with good traction. Lastly, although certainly not required, a more muted style with a minimum of flashy colors and bizarre patterns is my preference as well.I have tried countless boots and they always seem to fall short of perfection for one reason or another. My first pair that I loved dearly were the cheapest of the bunch; they fell apart after my first serious week-long hiking trip. I've progressed up the price ladder and still had various issues with many brands; split soles, leaking "waterproof" boots, cinder-block-heavy full-support all-leather or minimal support mid-hikers, you name it. I feel like I've never found the perfect combination, and there seem to be just too many options out there to try them all. Trips to REI end up in a mountain of opened boot boxes, none of which are "just right".
So this year I decided to go with the recommendation of Backpacker magazine and give these a try. Normally I avoid the "Best of" recommendations since they (miraculously) change every year, and instead try to find the best for me. But, for lack of better options, I gave the TrekSta GTX Hiking Shoe a try after their glowing recommendation.
First, the pros -- these are so light! They are as light as sneakers yet hold up like boots. They are comfortable right out of the box and I have had no hot spots even with a 30-40lb pack for sustained distances. They hold up to serious water and mud with no leaks. Ankle support is apparent although I haven't had a serious twist yet to see if they provide meaningful support. The lacing system is nice as well and allow me to rapidly tie them up. There is only one level of "hook" tyle lacing (the rest are eyelets), which makes it much faster to tie up.
The cons -- there aren't many but they should be considered. Due to the way the lacing system is designed, the top row of laces can sometimes slip down and the tongue on the boot will pop out a bit, resulting in a looser fit and less ankle support. I can tie the laces tighter to keep the tongue in, but then it seems to be too tight for my feet. Not a huge deal but this is something I have noticed. Of more concern is the tread. This is a light boot/shoe but the tread could be a tad more agressive. I found myself slipping in muddy conditions where my heavier boots with more aggressive treads had much less trouble.
Overall, this is an excellent lightweight hiking shoe based on my experience. I've put maybe 50-75 miles on them so far and have few complaints. With a few design tweaks this could be the perfect hiking boot/shoe.
