Ergonomic Northotic footbeds and cushy EVA soles keep your feet comfy, and sticky Smearacle rubber outsoles and forefoot let you smear, edge, and balance on smooth rock and small holds.

I loved this shoe. I got it true to size. I want more colors, red, blue, yellow,orange. The comfort was so great that I forgot at the end of an eight hour shift of standing, that my legs didn't throb. Great shoes.

I was so excited to get my shoes. They were even more stylish than the pictures. They are wide enough and have a comfy fit with good support.

I love this shoe!

I've worn these shoes doing everything from hiking, running, and even rafting (forgot my water shoes). The green is an awesome color and I get complemented all the time for them. I've worn them practically everyday for over a year and I just started to notice some wear on them. Because they are made of that airy breathable material, my feet do tend to get dirty after hiking on really dusty trails. Also, these shoes are way better to hike up to Half Dome in than hiking boots because of the rubbery grip. If they made a water proof version of these it'd be the perfect shoe. Once my pair craps out on me, I will probably get another pair. North Face please don't ever stop making these!!

no breaking in!

I went right for the trail in these, figured I would break them in as I went, which I never recommend. They did great, me too and I can't wait to use them again. I started out with 9 hard miles up a 14er.
