I have purchased two other Zamberlan products the Vioz GTX and
Salathe GTX both of which are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever worn, both purchased in size 11.5 men. I wanted a lighter, in between boot and chose the trail lite evo gtx I figured the size would be the same but I was wrong, after wearing the trail lites for 4 hours inside my house I had to take them off, the toenail on my big toe was turning black & blue. Come to find out if you cut the tags off and wear the boots a little while they are non returnable. Don't get me wrong Zamberlans Quality and craftsmanship is at the very top even with the trail lite evos very nice boots, just not sized the same as their other boots.

Hi Dennis, thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you appreciate the quality of our boots, however, if you only wear them in the house you absolutely can return the boots. Just don't wear them outside. We can always re-apply tags, but would rather you kept them on until you know you will keep them. We would never deny a return if you simply remove the tags.

Of the boots you mentioned, the Vioz and Trail Lite Evo, they use the same last, albeit on different outsoles. However, the sizing is identical for these two styles for the overwhelming majority of our users (including myself, a 20-year user of the brand). The Salathe uses a different last and many find that a different size is sometimes required. Sizing is very tricky as everyone is one a spectrum - for example, not all size 11.5 men have the same length of foot. On top of it, different upper materials and outsoles (even with the same last) affect sizing. This can account for variations in experience across styles even when you would expect an identical fit. Our lasts are expertly designed (for over 90 years!) but fit is everything and every boot bought should be fit indoors prior to committing to a purchase to make sure it is good for your feet.

This is my third pair of Trail Lite EVO GTX boots. The others were repurposed to other needs once they were beat up from many miles on the trails. I really like the build quality, and comfort of these boots, which is why I am back for another pair, and look forward to many miles from them, too.

I’ve had other boots that were comfortable, too. The designs changed, or the quality change, and quite possibly so did my feet. Once I wore my first pair of Zamberlan boots, I was an instant fan.

One more thing, ordering was easy, too as I knew the size I needed from my previous purposes.

The boots did not fit so I returned them. But I liked them enough to seek out a retailer near me and purchased the right size. The sizing information on the website was in the end not that helpful. I am a US 10 1/2 for most cases and the sizing chart suggested I get a size 9. When I went to the store the size 10 was the right fit.

The Trail Lite EVO GTX is a beautiful, quality boot. I've had them about a month now and I'm very happy with the feel and performance. I took their half size down advice and they fit like a second skin. Once your foot pops into the heel cup you know there's a lot of good hiking in your future. Very flexible but the last is substantial enough that you don't feel every rock in the trail. Thanks Zamberlan. They are just what I was looking for.

This seems to be anexcellent product so far. I have a heavier pair of Zamberlins for backpacking and hunting. But I needed a lighter pair for travel and summer hiking. The lite Evo GTX are perfect. They are comfortable and give excellent support for such a light hiking boot. The jury is still out on how durable they'll be, but I am very pleased right now.

I have a pair of Zamberlan 996 VIOZ GTX which I love but wanted something lighter for more technical hikes. I wore the 320 Trail Lite Evo GTX for a half day around the house and the fit was so perfect that I thought it would be ok to wear them the next day on a 10 mile, 3000ft altitude gain, very rocky hike (not something I recommend but I could not resist.) I believe I am correct that both sets of my boots are made from the same last, and it seemed obvious from the first time I tried the 320’s on. The comfort and fit are near perfection and I could really feel the relatively light weight. Also, they are a very nice looking, well made, classical looking hiking boot. The rocks don’t really care so much about their appearance but it just makes them an all the more satisfying purchase. My two sets of Zamberlan hiking boots are the two best purchases of outdoor equipment I have ever made.

Great lightweight hiking, backpacking boot. Very comfortable and well constructed. Won't hesitate to wear around town as well. Knew I would like them, but actually, I love them. My 5th pair of Zamberlans. Definitely my favorite brand, even above my love for Crispi....

Awesome boots, probably the best I’ve ever had in the 300 price range. Finally a boot that equals or better than the Vasque 1990’s boots. Never thought that would happen.

Bought 320 Trail direct from Zamberlan. Love Zamberlan boots. Fit is right on, easy break in. I have 6 pairs and only worn out my 996"s , about 7 years now. My 1030 Sella are probably best boot I have. The 320 trails are lightweight and easy to pack. Not quite as beefy as the full leather line but still very comfortable for half day hikes. 996 Vioz, 1996 Vioz, 1030 Sella, 1005 Hunter pro, 320 Trail (second pair) Also have a pair of dress shoes they don't make any more. Keep up the the good work! Zamberlan is the best!!!!

I have several pair of Zamberlan boots and shoes for different hiking, hunting and exercising activities. Of all of the boot brands I have owned Zamberlan has been the best value, most comfortable and most waterproof.

Fantastic boots! Super light (for an all leather boot), comfortable, and supportive with classic Italian styling. No break in time required. Great for day hikes and light packing. Third pair of Zamberlans ‐ these, a pair of 1996 Vioz Lux (in black), and the Lynx BOA. Love them all and sizing was the same in all.

I own three other Zamberlan boots and the 320 Trail Lite Evo GTX are the best. They are true size fit, light and confortable. I waited two month for the 8.5 size to become available and I am happy with the purchase.

As a long-time user of the (heavier) Vioz, I decided I needed something lighter for shorter and less challenging day hikes. I was admittedly a bit hesitant that the Trail Lite would be of lesser quality. So far, it seems I needn’t have worried. These are Zamberlans through and through, from fit to finish. I can’t yet comment on durability (as I have had them only a month, and have been on only two hikes), but my initial impressions are quite positive. They are solid enough to serve well not only in hiking, but also in light backpacking.
