The North Face Ultra 105 GTX XCR Shoe - Women's
Available Colors / Styles
For long, wet runs over gnarly, unforgiving terrain, The North Face Women’s Ultra 105 GTX XCR Trail Running Shoe gobbles up mile after mile. With a Gore-Tex waterproof breathable membrane and a tough synthetic leather upper, the Ultra 105 is the shoe of choice for endurance trail running in rough conditions. A Northotic contoured footbed and EVA midsole add ergonomic cushion, while the injection-molded TPU shank plate reduces shock when rocks, roots, and other trail debris get in your way.
Bottom Line: Tackle the longest, meanest, muddiest trails in the Ultra 105 GTX XCR.

Amazing Shoe. Waterproof, great tread, comfortable sole. I live in Ketchikan Alaska and enjoy walking/jogging in all weather and on all terrains. These shoes have exceded my expectations. My feet are dry and I am able to take long journeys in comfort.

Hi, i have heard this shoe is good for over pronators? Is this the case? If not does anyone know a good trail running shoe for this? I am going crazy trying to find one! High milelage.

Hey jen,
Thanks for the question. The North Face Ultra 105 GTX XCR Shoe - Women's has heel and forefoot X-2™ cushioning with medial posted heel and midfoot so that medial posting will be good at keeping from over pronating the stride. The shoe will fit slightly on the big side as well.

Love, love! the 105's especially with the G-Tex
I put on about 50 miles per week on these, mostly dirt trails and a little bit of asphault trails, yr-round running in all types of weather including the snow! the shoes hold up for me well and manage to keep my feet dry and still breathable during the summer temps.
I use mine for running the trails, hiking, snow shoe trail blazing, and walking, just a good all around shoe from Northface. I had used the 104's in the past but decided to try the 105's and I am hooked.
I change out my shoes about every 4 months from running, and turn the more used pairs for walking/hiking, or general wear. This is the fourth pair of 105's that I have in my personal gear list.

I'm looking for a Women's GTX Trail Running Shoe with a higher heel. I damaged my calves and a higher heel helps. Any ideas which brand has a higher heel?

While I was impressed with these shoes when I took them on a nine-mile hike through snow and into a cave with a river running through it (I was the only one with semi-dry feet at the end), I am not too happy with their support.
On what was supposed to be a 12-mile run today, I had to stop at mile 10 because I think I have developed runner's knee. I know that this condition can be caused by various things. However, I have never had this problem until switching to these shoes and inadequate foot support can certainly be a factor.
The shoes also begin to make certain parts of my feet sore after running about 6 miles. Prior to these shoes, I was running in the Adidas Kanadia trail running shoe which is about half the price of these shoes and I put about 30-40 miles a week on them and they seemed to offer better support and just as good of grip.
These shoes shine in the department of keeping your feet dry because they are armed with goretex. But if you don't plan to run through snow, rivers and streams too often, I would not recommend them.

These shoes are also great for hiking. I love anything multifunctional and the 105 epitomizes the word. Go camping, light hiking and run some trails all in the same pair of shoes. I couldn't be happier!

What is the fit on these shoes like? I would love if someone who actually wears these shoes could reply to me as the backcountry rep I last spoke with told me that a similar pair of North Face trail runners ran a half size larger but I found both the half size and normal size I wear to be too big. Thanks!!!

My opinion is they run true to your normal size, even with a few years of wearing the 104's they too ran true to size, worst case is order a pair if they are too big or small exchange. Back country has an excellent and hassle free return policy.
My only issue with these shoes is the soles wear out, lately I had been wearing these out in two months, I turn my runners into casual walking or hiking, but the wearing on the soles has me looking for a more durable Gortex trail runner.

I'm about to run my first 50K trail run in GA this Oct and I was looking for some shoes to break in.... does anyone have advice? I usually run in asics for road races and I have wide feet. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've been a big fan of the Salomon XA Pro series for a long time - they've provin to be comfy and durable, and they fit well. I'm currently running in the XA Pro 3D, which fit my wide feet very comfortably.
My wife, who is also an Asics wearer (2100 series), recently got a pair of the XT Wings, which she likes. I undertand that the XT Wings are a little roomier than the XA Pros.
Salomon makes Gore-Tex and non-Gore Tex versions of both shoes.

love these shoes, especially the new toe box material, will definately withstand the scree fields better this summer. Stiffer than before too= more support.
This is my second pair with gore-tex- highly recommend gore-tex. I have a narrow foot and these fit well for me- overall I am a TNF shoe wearer.
Is this shoe good for hiking as well? I want a shoe that I can
Is this shoe good for hiking as well? I want a shoe that I can use for running on trails as well as hiking. Will be traveling and do not want to take two pairs of shoes.

I constantly hike in my trail-running shoes, and I don't see these shoes as being any different. Good traction, nice support, I agree with what Dave has stated.

Hi Tracy - This shoe and also the Ultra 104 are both going to be good choices for shoes that do both well. Both have good underfoot protection to make viable hiking shoes. I would probably go 104 if you have a wider foot, and stick with the 105 if you are average to a little narrower.
Either one will treat you very well as a dual purpose.
Hope this helps

Bought the Alloy Grey/Brushed Metal Blue color, loved them!! They are super comfortable, great for walking/running/hiking and I am very happy about the GoreTex, since it is raining a lot here in Costa Rica. Must say that they look great with jeans too.
Change me.
