    Comments about The North Face Betasso Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:

    True to it's name these are trail running shoes! Up and down some wicked trails in the Sierra's for a couple of weeks, these performed very well.

    We got caught in a late afternoon storm and I had no issue with slipping on wet rocks or grass. They got wet, but remailed stable and comfortable.

    Great support and traction. Great for running up or down, dirt or rocks.

    One issue is the build quality... they seem to be falling apart. Some of the logo's have fallen off (?), and the cushioning near the toe of one shoe seems to be flaking (?).

    On top of all that, they are as comfortable and light as slippers.

      Comments about The North Face Betasso Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:

      I run about 20 miles a week in these shoes. I use quality Wigwam socks and surefeet inserts and have not developed a blister yet. I don't know what issues other reviewers are experiencing w/ the shoes quality as mine have done just fine. At the price REI is selling these shoes at I don't think there is much room to complain,[...]

      Comments about The North Face Betasso Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:

      I was shocked at the poor quality when I received these. They looked like knock-offs just because of the stiching and misaligned paint. I wore these at work for a few months and the bottom began wearing away. Now the soles are flopping around. I will not buy North Face shoes again.

        Comments about The North Face Betasso Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:

        I live in Minnesota and bought these during the winter. I ran on paths that were regularly covered in snow/ice and rarely slipped. Now I run primarily on roads and they are great for that but I know that when I feel like going on the trails I wont have a problem. Only problem I have is that my cats chewed up the laces and I can't seem to find replacement laces that are the right length.
