Great all around shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the shoes. They do have a break in time until they really get comfortable. Gove them some time, it will be worth it. The bottoms do wear faster than normal. Hopeful TNF reads his and makes changes to the next rendition. Great for every day use, hiking, you name it. Great all around shoe.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dad swears by these shoes! He loves how light and durable they are. He usually uses them when he know he will be in his feet all day! Great product! :)

Not water resistant at all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want shoes with water resistance, do not buy these. Futurelight is far inferior to Gore-Tex and North Face made a huge mistake switching to their own proprietary "waterproof" material. I have an older pair of North Face shoes that are Gore-Tex and they are awesome, actually waterproof. Very sad that North Face doesn't use Gore-Tex in their shoes anymore. Guess I'm going to have to buy a different brand in the future

Too stiff and bad chemical odor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are well made and waterproof but are very stiff. Initially I thought they would break in, but it's been 10 months and they are still very stiff. Strong chemical odor was noticed when I got them home. Again, I thought this would go away with use. It has not.

First bad North Face product I have

I don't think they're comfortable at all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've probably hiked in them for 30 miles already, thinking I'd have to break them in but they didn't get any more comfortable. Walking, they just rub against and pinch my little toe and foot. After hiking, my feet are sore from them just not being too flexible. They just don't and crease correctly when walking. Waterproofing is nice cause I can just walk across and submerge my foot but I think I'd try a non-waterproof shoe.

Great waterproof hiking shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very versatile hiking shoe. Took them out west to hike Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, The Narrows, and The Grand Canyon...and they passed the test! Definitely recommend to everyone.

Comfortable and waterproof

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shoes were perfect for the rain forest hike! But word to the wise. They are a little stiff at first and need to be "Broken in" in order to get the full comfort level.
