The North Face Plasma GTX XCR Boa II Hiking Shoe - Men's

Item #TNF3761 | 0 in Stock

not for me....

By Ranked #826 - Men's Hiking Shoes October 4, 2009

Now, let me preface this review by saying that TNF Plasma hiking shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. However, the BOA system is not for me. Reason being, when you tighten the system down snug for a hike, the wire lacing that crosses the toes will pinch. The wires that wrap around by the ankles constricts movement and pinches as well. They are however, extremely comfortable and I would recommend them for anyone who stands alot or for kicking around town, but not on a serious backpacking trip.
