The North Face

Summit Cragstone Pro Shoe - Women's

Using these off-label -- finest for hiking and working out

I bought them in Madrid during a 6-week tour when my feet hurt so badly I could barely walk. What a surprise when they turned out to be some of the most comfortable and stable shoes I've worn. I am an older Coloradan who is quite familiar with Vibram soles, so it's not just that. These are not overly cushioned, but they are balanced and brilliantly designed. I hope they broaden the line and advertise them beyond "approach" shoes. They look cool too!

Would recommend and would buy again.

I purchased these for a 10k obstacle course race over rugged terrain with 30 obstacles and they were perfect. My feet felt great and they had great traction no matter the surface. Whether running through mud, up steep embankments, on rocks, or over obstacles I never slipped or lost traction. It was great not having to worry about shoelaces becoming untied or loosening over the course of obstacles. They stayed tight the entire race. They cleaned up great and still look brand new. Not a single blister or rub mark anywhere. I did wear performance socks and would recommend that. I also sized up a half size.

Never and never buy this product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is construction problem with the product - it reflects all ground instabilities, shoe sole is thin and hard. Also the boa system makes preasure for foot, using this is disaster!

Cool looking shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a climber, but bought these for international travel. Love the sleek look and something other than a sneaker. Super lightweight and comfortable. Youtube video required for BOA system!

Can't wait till trying these shoes in the summer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing shoes! Love The North Face for their innovative ideas! No laces in shoes. Very interesting mechanism that makes your shoes more or less tight by just turning a round shape circle. That's definitely smart as you don't want to get your shoe lace untied in the the middle of a vertical wall.

Great running shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight, great fit and adjustability. Ankle is a bit high and hasn't yet broken in, but am otherwise happy.
