Why We Like The North Face Altamesa 500 Trail Running Shoe

Built for lasting comfort on technical terrain, the Altamesa 500 Trail Running Shoe has us going the distance. A generous serving of The North Face's Dream midsole foam not only softens rocky ground but propels us into fast and powerful transitions. The flared forefoot midsole gives us lateral and medial support to increase our stability on uneven terrain, while the ghillie lacing and padded heel cup keep our foot locked dead center over the platform.

Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these shoes more so for recovery and easy runs. They did not work for me. While they claim to be stable, I found the cushion makes them very unstable feeling. So much so, it contributed to a tendonitis flair in one of my feet after the first 20 miles in them. Much prefer the sky vectin to these shoes.

I will buy these again.

Super comfy! I've been rocking these for a month now. They're perfect for wide feet like mine. I usually wear a size 8.5 in women's, and these fit true to size. If you have narrow feet, I'd suggest going half a size down.

Great shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable shoes! I use them for trail running and hiking. The sole is large, slightly unsteady feeling until you get used to the fit! Otherwise a great shoe.

So comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased these shoes and love them. I wore them all day and had no pain whatsoever! I have Plantar Fasciitis and only wear Hoka but these are much cuter and have the same support!

Longtime TNF Shoe fan...these are the best yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been training and racing ultra distance in TNF shoes for a few years now. The Altamesa takes all my favorite things and packages them into the dream trainer- the best shoe I've found yet. 11/10!

Relaxing Comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the fit! Room for toes to expand, move without tight, snug fitting.

Where has this shoe been all my life??
