So, if you've followed my videos you'll notice I went a year playing in some boot style Merrell's, then switched to the Merrell Trail Gloves just recently.
I was on the hunt for a pair of shoes in between the two, leaning closer to the Trail Glove, but offering more support while remaining light and low profile.
I wanted them to be cheap so I could buy 3 pairs for under 150$, and I wanted them to have a Vibram sole because nothing else I've tried grips as well.
I came across a brand I had never heard of on my hunt, Hi-Tec. The Figaro model looked like exactly what I wanted, so at 40$ I decided to give them a shot.
Here's a quick first impressions video. So far I have nothing bad to say about them except the pull tab thing I mention. I've used them for four rounds and 4 hours of field work so far and they're feeling even better as they break in. I'm planning to order some more of them since I get the impression they'll hold up long enough to justify 40$ a pair.
Anyone else have any experience with this brand? I bought these not knowing what to expect and am impressed so far, but of course with only 4 rounds on them its tough to comment on long term durability.
