Hi-Tec started their operations that year and put a similar mark on outdoor footwear with the introduction of the first lightweight hiking boot. Hi-Tec’s product offering has changed over the decades, and the V-Lite Infinity trail running shoe is the latest. The V-Lite Infinity touts a one-piece upper. The upper - Seamless Upper Zone Engineering – is advertised to reduce hot spots and blisters. The Hi-Tec V-Lite Infinity offers a Vibram outsole, micro fiber lining and a molded toe cap. The first sight of the V-Lite Infinity burns the retinas from the reflective green detailing on the shoe for running at night. With your eyes in slight disarray, your attention will quickly change to comfortable feel of the micro fiber lining and the ample cushioning in the heel. The upper proved as breathable as Hi-Tec advertises. It regulates the temperature for your foot especially when the temperatures exceed 90 degrees. Your feet stay dry and are not wading in a perspiration puddle. The multi directional lug pattern on the Vibram sole provides stability on changing trail surfaces. Next to a slight slip-on a surface that was a combo of gravel and dirt, the V-Lite Infinity stuck to the trail adequately. The molded toe cap is sturdy and was effective for protecting your toes. The upper is partly covered with an ion mask. The ion mask repels water from the V-Lite Infinity unless you misstep into a deep puddle or stream that is more than a few inches deep. That misstep will lead to a drenched V-Lite Infinity.
