[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always buy Northface products for my family and never had a problem. I purchased these sneakers for my wife and on the tip of one of the sneakers there seems to be some sort of malfunction. One sneaker looks new and the other used also the defected side fits really tight around the toes. My wife has OCD and now im scrambling to find her a replacement for Xmas. It just looks rushed and used.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] been buying northface since the 90's from steep tech days to futurelight. I love the brand for me and my family but these sneakers are unacceptable and don't meet the standard of the company.
I have worn these shoes all summer for hikes - just got done visiting Yosemite and did multiple 8-16 mile trails over a week, including Mist Trail where there was water on areas of the 600 + stairs. Grip was excellent on wet granite and I had no rubbing/hot spots/blisters. These are my new favorite hikers!
Poorest quality. These shoes started to fall apart within two months and at 3 months now need replacing. The grip tread is completely worn off, the toe glue is no longer holding the sole on, and the pull on assist tab is fraying. Definitely won't be buying North Face shoes again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I put on these shoes I did not want to take them off! I'm a very particular person when it comes to footwear/bags/clothing. These ticked all my boxes! I can walk the dogs, hike, ride my bike, basically anything and everything. The only issue I'm having is that now I need another pair. I've never spent the $ for performance footwear and now I can't not because my feet love these shoes. I have recommended these to all of my girlfriends. Plus- they are way cuter than Hoka's!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look and functionality of these shoes. The soles are super grippy and have definitely aided me on some super slick terrain. The toe box is very narrow-I originally ordered these in my regular size but sized up a half size.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the perfect hybrid between trail runner and hiking shoe. Super cushiony and supportive, good grip. They do seem like a low volume shoe, sizing could be an issue for some but my regular size works with light cushion socks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how its designed so that going up and downhill trails are easy. The shoe feels like it's boosting you forward which is great for uphills that are hard to get up anyway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice color but runs small, feet is hurting a lot, can't return since it's been worn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks good. A bit small but I will wear them in the house to see
