The North Face Alkaline GTX XCR Hiking Shoe - Men's

get 'em 0.5 size bigger.

By Ranked #443 - Men's Hiking Shoes June 16, 2010

Just got these. Here's what I can say so far:
-Get them 0.5 size (US) larger than your usual size.
-They get pretty hot, but tolerably so.
-Gore-tex membrane.
-They ride a little high. I occasionally find shoes that rise up and hit my malleolus (that bony bump on either side of your ankles). These ones do that to me. This probably has more to do with my own foot dimensions, so if you never tried on a shoe that hits your malleolus I wouldn't worry about this.

They break-in remarkably fast. I no longer have any problem with the ankle riding high.
