Eddie Bauer Highline Trail

Runners not ready to commit to dedicated trail shoes will appreciate the Highline.  Testers rated the shoe high on fit, comfort and lacing while the softer midsole adapted well to crushed rock, wood chips, grass and less consolidated trail beds.  The shoe’s rocker and double toe rand let runners accelerate and hold speed on flat and rolling terrain without fear of unplanned impact.  Extremely breathable and adaptable to oddly shaped feet, Highline’s mesh upper allows all-day wear in dry conditions.  For the money, this model is a newcomer’s best friend that builds passion for the sport without breaking the bank.
