Lightweight and quick-lacing, this hiking boot from Lafuma keeps you cool and comfortable on the trail. Breathable mesh, leather and textile uppers have a sporty look and a cool bungee closure lacing system lets you tighten and take off in a flash. Your ankle is fully supported by a padded collar, and extra toe protection prevents stubbing on rocks and unexpected tree roots. The flexible rubber sole offers reliable traction that doesn't weigh you down like bulky hiking boots.Sports reviews of Lafuma Women's LD Xlight Md OT Trail Shoe
Customer Review: Gloved feet
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Wearing these shoes is akin to wearing gloves on one's feet--once you get them on. The lacing system does not permit you to loosen the ankle area where your feet must go in, so you end up having to hold onto the back of the shoe (with your thumb inside the shoe), while simultaneously forcing your foot into the shoe. The result is that you are squeezing your poor thumb during this procedure as your heel slips into the shoe. Rather than torture your thumb everytime you have to put these shoes on and even risk breaking your thumb nail, get a single SHOE HORN. If you don't know what that is, go to your nearest shoe repair shop and ask them to show one to you (and sell one to you or at least tell you where to purchase one). Also ask the shoe repair person to show you how to use it. A shoe horn will likely cost under $10. And it is worth that small investment since all members of the household can use it. The shoe horn is extremely useful with shoes like these. By the way, these shoes are a little close fitting, so you might prefer going a half size larger.
