Unfortunately I would not buy this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the look and thought I would give NF shoes a try. Not as comfortable as I had expected, walking all over France and Italy. A bit wider toe box than I desire.

One of the most comfortable shoe that I've ever worn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The North face has nailed it this time. I love the shoe so much I went and bought myself second pairs with different colors. It is amazing comfortable and I can be on my feet all day !!

I have never been let down with any North Face shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how these shoes feel, look and perform. I use them mostly for lifestyle purposes but they are worth every dollar to me.

I would definitely buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are very comfortable and sturdy. They have a big toe box and plenty of room for wider feet.

Love this shoe!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes meet the needs of a trail runner, wider toe box and lifted front toe take the strain off toe joints that comes with many miles and years of climbing. Wish I would have found these years ago.

Great shoe from North Face

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are very comfortable, I wear them to work every day. I am a physician and do roughly 10,000 steps with at least 8 to 12 flights of stairs per day. They are very well cushioned, and look sharp with my scrubs.

Running on a DREAM

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:
11.5

This is an awesome cushioned shoe to have in your rotation. The DREAM midsole and rocketed sole do an awesome job of propelling you forward. I found the fit to be true to size with the toe box being on the wider side. Despite the amount of cushion making this a pretty tall shoe, I found it to be pretty stable thanks to the surface area in the mid foot on the outsole, but I haven’t taken it on any super technical ridge lines or scrambles yet. I’m also a big fan on TNF’s Surface CTRL outsole rubber. I feel like it has a great ratio of grip to durability. I’ve put amount 30 miles in these so far and the outsole still looks new…muddy, but new. #BackcountryGearhead
