Tecnica Dragonfly Lightweight Hiking Boots - Mid (For Women)

I bought these boots for the purpose of hiking Mount Washington in Maine. They are incredibly comfortable and well made. I do have to add that while not my number 1 priority, the aesthetic look is important to me.... These are high quality and very fashionable!

They felt a full size too big, but when I tried on Tecnica's trail running shoes, I only had to go up a half-size. (I'm an 8 normally, with wide feet, but am wearing the 7.5 trail shoes just fine) They're definitely wide enough. They seemed like they might have been a little too lightweight, like they wouldn't have given enough support. I had to send them back because of the size, anyway. Bright, attractive colors! Comfortable!

I really like this shoe and have not taken them out for a spin yet. Just exchanged the 7 for a 7 1/2 which now feels perfect. I am usually a true 7. I found the toe box roomy and the arch now feels better to my high arches. I like that they are not leather as I am a Vegan and the materials are top quality for non-leather. I may use my own insoles after I test them out. Traction is great and will do well in the rocky soils of Utah. Glad I found them. BTW exchange was very easy with this company. Thank you for that.

I am planning a hiking and climbing tour in Chile, Argentina and Peru, can't wait to use the boots.

Bought these boots as a lightweight alternative to my heavy duty long-distance hiking boots. And, lightweight they are! The insoles are soft, cushy; no break-in time needed. The only drawback is with the sizing. I ordered both a 7 & 7.5 to compare - and I ended up keeping the 7.5 for the added toebox length. However, both sizes seemed wide; more than roomy across the top of boot and in the toe box. Adding an additional insole took care of some of that extra room. For the fabulous price, and since I always have to tweak my hiking boots, I'll keep tweaking to make these featherweight, comfortable boots work for hiking in the dry, summer months!
