Comments about The North Face Ultra 106 Gore-Tex XCR Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
These shoes are excellent. Someone who wrote a bad review said that the shoes are of poor quality and break easily. This hasnt been the case for me. Ive had the shoes for almost a year and have been constantly testing them in the white mountains of NH. These shoes are great, I have never had a problem with anything related to their construction. They are relatively breathable but this pay off with the waterproofing. These shoes are EXCELLENT with water. Ive been through several rain storms where my feet stayed dry thanks to these shoes. They have great traction too and have done really well this winter with all the snow and ice up in the northeast.

Comments about The North Face Ultra 106 Gore-Tex XCR Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
I love to run in these shoes. I have been running in these for seven months straight at least three times a week on trails and on the road and I've put over 300 miles on them. They are light, fit my foot well, have plenty/but not too much cushioning and dry out fast. I couldn't be more happy with the way the held up over time. I'm finally wearing down the tread on them and debating on whether or not to buy a new pair after the amount of abuse the first pair took from me. Great shoes!

Comments about The North Face Ultra 106 Gore-Tex XCR Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
I am usually impressed with North Face products but I will never get their shoes again. I paid a lot and they fell apart. The lace straps broke and the leather cracked and fell apart.

I bought these originally to huck around town in ugly weather, but began trail running in them because they were so comfortable.
The GoreTex has always kept my feet dry even when the rest of me has been soaked to bone (not sure how, but its happened).
Are they as cushy as a pair of asics or brooks? Probably not, but I actually prefer their more solid cushion. I strike on my forefoot, and these have been exceptionally comfortable for my style.
Awesome traction, and I've run in rain, snow etc. I will definitely buy these again when my current pair wears out (which they have been holding up exceptionally well - hose them off, let them sun dry and they are ready to go again).
I originally bought these because of TNF's exceptional warranty policy. I have never been let down.

These shoes are amazing. Extremely comfortable, wide shoe string eyelids for a more secure lace, and waterproof. I use these for work and rec. I recommend them to anyone looking for a multi use shoe.

Comments about The North Face Ultra 106 Gore-Tex XCR Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
These shoes are great! I have put a little of 7 miles on them and so far they are awesome. Haven't tried to run in them yet, I've mainly just used them for hiking. They seem like they might be a little to heavy to be used as a trail running shoe.
They seem extremely durable and feel like they are built to last.
I looked at tons of other shoes online and these were simply the perfect balance between price and quality, plus they have are water proof.
Bottom line, these are a good hiking/ running shoe for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget. :)

Comments about The North Face Ultra 106 Gore-Tex XCR Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
I bought these shoes based on previous reviews. They were sturdy, offered good traction, and were waterproof. However, after running and hiking in them for 25-50 miles, I had to take them back. They were painful to wear with the pain extending accross the top of my forefoot. I thought perhaps the wide lacing was the problem, but even with the shoes laced in the narrow loops, they still hurt.

Comments about The North Face Ultra 106 Gore-Tex XCR Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
I had the 104's before they wore out and I moved on to the 106's. I'm in love with this series of shoe and use them primarily for hiking. They're much lighter and flexier than a hiking shoe, while still being rugged and providing support over uneven or sharp surfaces. I'll probably never go back to "real" hiking shoes - trail runners are the way to go. Anyway, more about this shoe. I like that this latest model has such a puffy collar, it REALLY helps to keep rocks out of the shoe, especially when worn with thicker socks to create a nice seal. That's really the biggest difference between the 106's and the older 104's. Being water resistant is very handy when hiking in mud or crossing creeks. The GorTex liner goes up pretty high into the shoe. The extra set of lace holes is awesome as well. I spent about 45 minutes trying different configurations until I got them laces up perfect for my feet. The way it works, you can loosen or tighten certain parts of the shoe depending on which lace holes you use to custom fit your foot. Traction is pretty decent, though in thick sticky mud the tread clogs up a little more than my hiking partner's Keens. Not enough to make me want to go right out and buy another pair of shoes for muddy conditions though. They do get a little hot at times, especially if the vent mesh gets clogged with dirt. I make a habit of rinsing them off once in a while now. The shoes are very rugged. The laces and upper skin should last a long time. Only bummer is that said laces can get to be really long depending on how you lace them up. I have to triple knot mine to prevent the bows from hanging up on sticks. I may end up buying a set of shorter laces. That's about all I have to say. Awesome shoe. I can see myself using and buying these for a long time.

They work great for me! I didn't want hiking boots or anything covering my ankles, and these give me exactly what I need including comfort and support.
