I have been seeking out a trail running shoe for no kidding, YEARS. I kept going back to my ghost 14s to run trails because I couldn't find a trail shoe that I felt great in. My feet feel very stable in these shoes. I feel like I very slightly notice the rocker motion in my runs, in the sense that I feel fast, but not in the sense of feeling like I am being pulled off balance. I run semi-technical trails in these shoes. Longest run so far in them has been 9 miles. I am building up to some longer runs and will come back and edit my review if they don't hold up. Oh, and the shoe itself looks great too!
I wanted to love these shoes, I actually bought two pair! They are so cute and comfy. The problem is that the tread really isnt that great. If you are doing anything with any vert, or rocks be so careful when your're wearing these. I was sliding all over the hill when I wore them. Also, after about 4 hikes/runs the tread was wearing out! I had them less than two weeks before I decided to return them. NORTHFACE...I LOVE YOUR PRODUCT and would love to buy more shoes from you if you would just fix the weak tread issues.
Thank you North Face and REI resupply! I have 4 surgical joint screws in my feet. I work 12-16 hour shifts as a CNA, all on my feet, level but hard, slick surfaces. I trust REI resupply and have been shopping it for many years. I found these listed as excellent condition in REI resupply and with maximum cushion, thought I would give them a try. BEST. SHOES. EVER. Although my pink ones aren’t worn out and feel almost like new (10 months old), I am picking out a 2nd pair to rotate.
Got these north face trail running shoes first time very responsive shoe, hit a few PR on the shorter runs already haven’t test them out for longer run 10+ yet definitely suprise how comfortable they were Bravo northface definitely will check out more trailrunning gear soon
