super supportive

By Josh Rhea July 15, 2003

Just picked up a pair of the Java GTX's last week. First test 'drive' was a 9-mile, 2,500-vertical foot grueling hike, and the Java performed flawlessly! I'm definitely stoked--I have a narrow, low-volume foot and it's hard for me to find shoes that fit right. The 'tongue-less' lining is great--didn't get a single pebble inside the shoe the whole hike. The soles are amazingly supportive and provide excellent traction. I did manage to roll my heel once--but that's to be expected with a low-cut shoe--more my fault than anything. This if the first true hiking shoe (as opposed to boot) I've owned--and I'm already sold! Highly recommended!
