I'm impressed that this shoe says "United States" for country of origin. I'll bet it was made in China and assembled in the US. I've never heard of North Face gear made in America. But there's always a first for everything, right? Sweat free...depends on your physiology, the socks you're wearing, the distance and speed your running and the climate outdoors. By nature, Gore-tex footwear doesn't breath as well as non-waterproof footwear. If this shoe had an eVent liner (like Kayland shoes and boots do), it literally might be sweat free as eVent technology is superior to Gore-tex. It's ridiculously breathable while still being waterproof. I won't even begin to guess at The North Face's tech crew. You must've just got someone on the line who was out of their lane. Hope this helps.
