Kept me comfy on the Camino de Santiago

1 year ago

Walked the last 111km of the Camino de Santiago in these. I tried 4 other pairs before I found these, and I'm so glad I found them. Super comfortable, wide enough in the toe box that they stayed comfy the whole way. Zero blisters or hot spots even though they were the only shoes I wore every day. Recommend.

I would definitely buy again if they discontinue 300s

9 months ago

I've gone through 3 pairs of the Altamesa 300s. They are my absolute favorite pair of trail running shoes. When I saw the 500s come out, I was hoping they would be nearly the same just with a little extra cushion. While I did really like them, they felt a little stiffer and less springy than the 300s to me. All in all a great shoe though. I will always choose NorthFace when it comes to trail runners. I've tried all the brands and keep coming back.

100% recommended!!

1 year ago

I really LOVED these shoes. I 100% recommend them to you. I went camping for a whole week in Colorado, I did too many hikes, and never took these shoes off. I was afraid they were going to hurt me, so I took an extra pair. I never got to use the other ones. These shoes are light, and the traction is amazing. I always have to use shoe insoles, but with these shoes I didn't have to.

Not for me

1 year ago

[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.

Good shoe to offer support/cushion in the trail shoe line

1 year ago

My second pair of these shoes- great cushion, true to size, good support. Two reasons I gave 4 stars- I wish they offered a bit of a more aggressive lug pattern as a "trail shoe" and I do not understand why all the light color choices. They look dirty, worn, and used after only a few runs.

very comfortable, would purchase again.

3 weeks ago

these shoes are amazing if you are standing for a long period of time. I have hiked and been on long runs in them and they are one of my favorite shoes to do it in. I have these in two other colors because they are so comfortable. I wish they came out with more colors.

I use these shoes for work, im walking all night and sometimes stand in one place for a couple minutes. But I love these shoes they are comfortable. The cushion definitely comes in handy so your feet don't hurt. I would recommend and I love them

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.

Built to Last

9 months ago

I never thought that I'd buy shoes this price, but after wearing them, while wandering unsteady trails outside; these are definitely built to last and built for the outdoors. I highly recommend these.

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

1 year ago

[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!
