Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry Outlet:
"GoLite integrated their Metamorphic traction system into the Sun Dragon Women's Trail Running Shoes for ridiculously aggressive traction on the steepest, roughest trails around. Each lug of the Trail Speed outsoles acts independently to ensure they all grip the ground no matter how rocky the path gets. GoLite topped these amazing soles with lightweight, fully synthetic uppers and a stabilizing heel cup for top-notch support on demanding terrain. At only 10.9-ounces, the Sun Dragons are the lightest trail shoes in the GoLite line."
From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of GoLite Sun Dragon ShoesLight, quick and downright fast, Speed is the currency of race day. A legend at the epicenter where the sport began and towering icon of formidable terrain. The Matterhorn challenges anyone with the will to get up and down as fast as they can. The Skyrunner's race began there. The GoLite Sun Dragon is just the shoe for the occasion. The patent-pending Isomorphic Suspension(TM) system is designed specifically for vertically rugged terrain above the timberline. When met with uneven terrain, the independent springs, or Trail Claws, each react with their own level of displacement. By isolating the uplift, Trail Claws fill the space created by bumpy ground, rather than balancing the foot against a traditional flat and wobbly outsole plate. The result is improved stability on the trail. Experience the superior grip and comfort of trail claws in the light and easy GoLite Sun Dragon Shoe. Features:High-altitude racerSuspension: Is"

In multiple hikes in the White Mtns of NH, the shoes got chewed up and the big lugs on the bottom of the shoe were almost ripped off the soles after a 12 mile hike (on fairly gentle dirt and rock trails."
