The North Face Arnuva 50 Boa Trail Running Shoe - Men's

The Men's Arnuva 50 Boa Running Shoes represent the crème de la crème of The North Face's endurance running line. These ultralight shoes feature the revolutionary Boa Lacing System. Boa Lacing uses polymer-coated steel wires to give you unparalleled comfort and the ability to make on-the-fly micro-adjustments for a custom fit. X-2 polymer dampening compounds, a heel-slip-preventing lining, and TPU-injected saddles give your feet incredible support and shock absorption, while the TNF Tenacious Grip rubber outsole provides exceptional traction on both street and trail. Wherever you run, the Arnuva 50 Boa shoes' highly breathable upper and multiple air channels keep your feet cool and dry and help prevent blisters so you can run farther.

Bottom Line: You don't have to run 50 marathons like Dean Karnazes to experience the unrivaled support and comfort of The North Face's revolutionary Arnuva Boa running shoe. But you can if you want to.

I ran in the original Arnuva Boas which had ample room for my 10.5 2E feet. The newer models seem quite a bit more narrow. Anyone out there have the same fit issues?

These shoes look tempting...but I'm wondering if I can use the for street running? Right now I'm using Mizuno Wave Creations....and wasn't sure if these Boa's are more for trail or road?

Probably not going to be as cushy as your Mizuno's. The shoe is designed as a hybrid for both road and trail.

Yeah, I was wondering how these shoes fit? I usually wear a 9.5 and did not know wether to go up a size or not.

These are narrow, like all TNF. Depending on what you wear a 9.5 in really.

I am a begining runner, a little overweight, 230lbs. I am about 6' tall. I started running, and my knee's hurt real bad. I am looking for a shoe that will allow me to continue running. Doctor said find another activity, but I dont want to. My arches are not the best either. Any advise would be appreciated.

Hi, i'd suggest seeking a local gait specialist/sneaker geek. I'm in Canada, i do this gait/lower limb/shoe thing for a living. My speciality falls under Certified Canadian Pedorthist...be careful though, pedorthist is a poorly protected title, although in Canada the reigns are finally getting tighter. I tell clients that we run because we can, not all of us though are set up to manage the stresses the same way...foot type/structure, angles through lower limb, angle of gait, position of center of gravity, core strength, etc, etc, all play into tolerance. If your knees are offering early poor tolerance, respect that. Building tolerance is critical...you will run when you can, quite literally. Start with a walking program, aim to move toward a more ideal weight for your body type, a poorly acclimated body carrying extra weight is setting up knee failure. Drop me a line anytime, robchisel@hotmail.com, and i can offer up more specifics for you
