Love these shoes! Might even get them in another color. Only down fall is that for a comfortable fit, I would suggest to size up
I think that this sneaker's width is not normal. Because the white inner fabric on both sides has poor strength.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was initially drawn to the sleek design of Women's Altamesa 300 Trail Run Shoes, and they definitely look great on my feet. However, I was disappointed to find that one of the shoes came with a flaw, making it uncomfortable to wear. Despite this issue, the other shoe fits well and provides decent support and traction for trail running. If it weren't for the flaw, I would highly recommend these shoes, but unfortunately, the discomfort is enough to detract from an otherwise stylish and functional pair.
I wore these for a hiking trip in Chamonix and brought them having only worn them once before. I know that's a big no no when it comes to breaking in shoes for a hike, but these shoes performed PHENOMENALLY and i never got blisters or was uncomfortable in them at all! On these hikes I was walking over 8 miles a day and my feet have never felt better. highly recommend! Can't wait to get running the trails with these shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own a lot of different shoe brands. On, Hoka, Sorel, Keen, to name a few. I initially bought these North Face shoes because I liked the looks of them. I was super happy when they ended up being super comfortable as well. I bought them right before having knee surgery not thinking I would be able to wear them for several weeks, but they have been the only shoes I have been wearing. Plenty of room, light and cushioning.
Really wanted to like these, the fit and support felt great, but the heels started rubbing a couple miles into my run. Ended up with a massive blister on the back of my heel. I never get blisters from any other shoe brands that I wear. The size seems correct, but I think the shape of the heel cup just doesn't work for me.
This is a good looking shoe with high quality materials. Sadly the extra thick sole was just too thick to allow for agility on a trail. This shoe would be good for the street, but I needed something more flexible.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great cushioning, and the mesh is very breathable which I prefer, though I've needed warmer socks with these on some winter morning runs. Breathability will be great for summer though!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm an employee and I bought these willingly. I'm training for a marathon and I ran on pavement and on a trail and they feel like a cloud and dream. I bought back ups as a result!
I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and I have worn them for hours and my feet did not hurt. They have great arch and foot support and I love the color.
