The North Face Hedgehog Mid GTX XCR Hiking Shoe - Women's

The North Face made the Women's Hedgehog Mid GTX XCR Hiking Shoe to be as sturdy and stable as a hiking boot but lighter weight and more breathable than hikers for agility on the trail. The mid-cut Hedgehog's uppers are abrasion-resistant and breathable, and EVA midsoles and heel air pods absorb shock and provide rebound so you can go longer. A TPU shank protects your foot from stones but won't weigh you down or compromise responsiveness. The Gore-Tex XCR membrane doesn't let water in, so you can go straight through the stream instead of hopping awkwardly across on boulders.

Bottom Line: Adventure racers, speed hikers, and those who just want a versatile shoe for hiking and trail running will appreciate the mid-cut Hedgehog.

I need to use my orthodics will they fit? Is the toe box roomy? My feet swell so I normally purchase an 8 1/2 (wear a 7 regular shoe).

Love these boots!

I wore these boots all day yesterday while viewing waterfalls and hiking in the mountains in Japan. They are awesome! They supported my feet and ankles perfectly, and I didn't have any problems on pavement, wet trails, or rocks. They were 1000 times more comfortable than wearing regular running shoes, so they were worth the money. At first I wasn't sure whether to get the low-rise hikers (which look a little cuter to me), but I am so happy that I bought the mid-rise....my ankles felt much more secure while hiking. No soreness, blisters, etc. today. I will wear these again and again. This site's shipping is unbelievably fast. I live at an FPO address in Japan, and the quick shipping (not to mention FREE shipping over $50) is much appreciated. Other sites charge a fortune for shipping, and it still takes weeks to get our purchases. Thank you, BC, for such great service! I don't think it's fair to consider the 1-star review that didn't comment on the shoes but rather asked another reviewer about wearing their shoes out twice. Wearing the shoes out twice means that person has literally worn them OUTSIDE twice. I also don't think the 2-star review titled "Deceptive boot" should be considered twice since both reviews state the same opinion. It messes up the rating system when people do this. I'm giving 5 stars and would give more if I could. These boots are great.

I normally wear a size 8 1/2 shoe or sandal.Live in sandals. Confused on whether to get the 8 1/2 or 9. The 9 is definitely roomier but do you really need the extra room? Will they give a little?

Hi,
I just got these boots in the mail today. I too normally wear an 8 1/2 shoe, but I always buy a 9 for running shoes, so I bought a 9 for the boots. I'm glad I did. Once I put on hiking socks and allow for some swelling, the 9 will feel more comfortable. (I have a wide foot, so I like the extra wiggle room.)
