The North Face  Altamesa 500 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

I'm very disappointed with this pair of shoes I purchased last month. Unfortunately, after just a single 3-mile hike, the sole detached, rendering them unusable. This level of quality is far below what I expected from such a prestigious and globally recognized brand, especially considering the premium price of your products. As a loyal customer who values durability and performance in outdoor gear, this experience has been deeply unsatisfactory.

Shoes are light weight, comfortable and stable during 4 hrs walk/run in Medford Oregon's trails. Condition: rocks, powder/dirt. I strongly recommended them.

Alta Mesa 500. This is the second pair I bought in the past three months it's not because the first pair were worn out is because after buying one pair I like them so much I wanted another pair. These shoes are amazing. Brooks top-of-the-line glycerin can't even compete. These shoes are far more comfortable and far more durable. These are my go to shoes for everything so I knew I needed a second pair whether you are a cross country runner or just a daily walker or just need a really good pair of shoes if you are standing all day at work I highly recommend you get these the Alta Mesa 500 amazing amazing.

By pure chance, I came across a North Face sneaker in an ad. I've been a loyal Altra buyer for years because of the wide toe box, so I figured I'd hedge my bets and ordered two pairs of Altras and one pair of North Face. The North Face arrived first. The moment I put them on, I knew - instantly - this was the best tennis shoe I've ever had on my feet. The fit, the comfort, the balance... it just felt right. A few days later, the Altras showed up. They feel great too - as expected - but there's honestly no comparison. The North Face stands in a class of its own. Consider me converted. Awesome shoe. John

Absolutely love this shoe. The upper and outsole are totally good and fine but the midsole is where this thing shines. The perfect foam for the trail and the perfect rocker shape. Feels very efficient. Can't say enough about the foam those it's so perfect. Not to soft but Definitly nice and cushioned. And bouncy too! Dear north face. You can change the upper or outsole for the next version but please don't change this midsole! We see way to many company's making their midsoles worse to save weight but for a cruiser like this it's the fee that's important. You have a good thing here don't mess it up!

I really dig these shoes. I wear them every day for work and I also use them for hiking and trail running. They are extremely comfortable and they breathe really well. Sadly, I'm wearing them out very fast, but I guess that just goes with wearing them every day. That would be the only negative I have to say about them. If you're looking for something extremely comfortable, you came to the right place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Caveat: I'm a trail runner sponsored by The North Face. I was part of the beta testing for the Altamesa 500 and was stoked on the ride and comfort from early on in the process. These are now my go-to shoes for nearly all my long runs and easy/recovery days when I'm not in one of the VECTIV shoes. They are soft and plush but still feel responsive and stable for all but the most technical terrain.

I just got these today & went for a 5 mile run in the Foothills of the Sandias. 900 ft of gain and the shoes were great. Yes, Ive tried them all & "still" run in Hokas, Altras, inov8, mountain to coast, indeed still looking for the 5 star shoe but I'd give it a very solid 4 out of the box. Curious how they hold up in a 50k & 50 Miler. Cushion on this shoe is impressive but how will it be in 250+ miles? Especially on Mt. terrain & true Trail running. But I will recommend them especially this Sale price. Perspective is up to your foot @ the end of the day. Outside Medicine keep running.
