Good Shoe, Ugly as Hell

The North Face Fire Road Boa Trail Running Shoe - Men's

The North Face Fire Road Boa Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 July 30, 2008

I also have a pair of TNF gortex trail runners which I used as a baseline for sizing these. Unfortunately, these are a half-size too small, but you don't really feel it when you've started your run. The shoe has good support, excellent traction (must be the yellow sole), and is easy to cinch down on your foot, but the boa mechanism seems like it might not last as long as the shoe. It occasionally clicks in a way that says "don't mess with me too much, I might just break" and it also pops open a bit easily. I guess that is the price you pay to not have to tie laces. Overall it is a great shoe that breathes well and is comfortable to run almost anything in (through creeks, deep snow, etc.).
