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

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

Rating for this product: 4 August 26, 2009

Seriously, these are huge!!!! I normally wear a size 7 but I have a wide foot, and read some reviews that these tend to run small, so I ordered a 7-1/2. Nice shoes, but they are between 3/4" and 1" too long. I think a 7 might even be too long, but I don't know if a smaller size would be wide enough for me. I hate to return things multiple times, so I'll probably just look for another style shoe rather than keep trying with these.

Also, am I the only idiot who couldn't figure out the BOA system? I knew that you tighten the laces by turning the dial because someone mentioned it, but I had no idea how to loosen them up again. I tried turning the dial the opposite direction, and then pushing on the middle of the button, all to no avail. There were no instructions in the box, and I even tried the North Face website for clues. They were lax on details too, but I saw a reference to the "quick release" so I fiddled around with it some more and realized that you have to pull the button OUT to loosen, and then push it back in to turn and tighten.

I'm giving them 4 stars for the "cool" aspect, and it's hard to say how much I'd like them since the size is so far off.
