Hi-Tec Sports New Fall ’15 Walking Line

Portland, OR (January 14, 2015) – Taking the dog out, hiking in a local park, strolling the shops, getting to work, or just getting a breath of fresh air after dinner, walking is the one activity that almost everyone does, every single day. With a mission to inspire people to walk and enjoy life on their feet, the new Hi-Tec Walk-Lite Collection is designed to maximize comfort and style for everyday wear.

New for Fall ’15, Hi-Tec introduces women’s Walk Lite styles and a new Men’s style. With the success of the men’s Walk Lite introduction, Hi-Tec has designed two women-specific styles that address the everyday walking needs of today’s active woman. Low-cut silhouettes with a distinctly active yet casual look, the women’s Walk Lite shoes are lightweight and confortable with leather and mesh uppers, laces and go-anywhere looks.

Hi-Tec’s Walk-Lite line features the unique, curved RollinGait® System, a result of Hi-Tec’s partnership with Vibram®. The RollinGait outsole supports the natural roll of the foot, reducing muscle tiredness and optimizing energy output to get you where you need to go, every day.

With stylish leather and mesh uppers, the new Walk-Lite collection combines technology, quality materials and styling to create shoes that celebrate walking in all its forms and never compromises on performance or comfort.
