Much to my surprise the first off road running shoe from Hi-Tec is quite good!
We got some samples to try out at work. Went for a quick run through some woods, mud, industrial estates and jumped in puddles. They held up very well considering and drained well. But would you buy a Hi-Tec for the same price as an Inov8 or Salomon? Possibly not. Maybe better as a training shoe before a big event.
Very light and breathable though.
