Hi-Tec V-Lite Trail Eruption is a “nice” trail shoe. Which is probably its biggest failing; it doesn’t offer the rugged functionality of Inov-8’s or the stylized good looks of Salomon trail shoes.
On the upside
The cushioning and support of the EVA midsole and TPU shank made this a stable a comfortable neutral trail shoe. Whilst it’s can withstand some abuse; the dispersion shield, a custom-designed Vibram outsole and a TPU toe cap meant it won most out door battles.
On the downside
The Eruption just isn’t suited for the extremes; the grip works quite well on rugged terrain and the shoe remains stable on uneven surfaces. However, it reminds me more of 
a lightweight hiking shoe than a trail running shoe. They are slightly heavy, have too many overlays and stereotypical Hi-Tec styling. If you want a trail shoe that can be used for walking and moderate terrain the Eruption does offer reasonable value for under £60.00
