Product Details
Description:
The North Face realizes that most of us can't live at the trailhead - so the Fire Road Boa shoes help us take whatever path we can find to get us there. An innovative multi-adjust lacing system stabilizes the valanced flexibility and response of this multi-terrain trail runner.

Features:

  • Keep your feet cool and comfortable with the highly breathable open mesh and synthetic leather uppers
  • Prevent over-pronation with the Northotic ergonomically-designed, antimicrobial footbed and X-2 polymer rear foot crash pad
  • Transfer the energy of each step into the ground and not back into your spine with the compression-molded EVA midsole
  • Extreme stability and a consistent footprint on uneven terrain are achieved with the semi-straight lasted design with a midfoot medial post
  • ESS forefoot Snake Plate protects your feet from stone bruising without being too stiff to comfortably wear
  • Get extra grip with firmer density lugs under the ball and waist of your foot with the UltraTAC outsole with a responsive ride through your step
  • Boa lacing system allows you to independently adjust the fit of individual areas of your foot
  • Poron forefoot and heel inserts absorb shock easily

Specifications:

  • Weight per pair: 1 lb 10 oz
  • Upper: synthetic leather / nylon mesh
  • Midsole: EVA
  • Lining: polyester
  • Outsole: rubber


Specifications based on size 9.

Comments about The North Face Fire Road Boa - Men's:

These are pretty cool low profile and quite stable running shoes. I got them as an extra pair on sale from TNF outlet store (sorry mgear). I ran a 4 mile trail in them the other day and they needed no break in. But like the other reviewer sort of noted these shoes fit more true to size (down a half size from the Arnuva 50's i.e. a size ten fits like a 10.5 Arnuva) than the Arnuva 50 running shoes which I usually run in. These have more fake leather and stuff then the Arnuvas so they are slightly less breathable, but perhaps more waterresistant and durable. One thing I like about them more than the other shoe is that they have a protection layer that is stiffer and protects against stone bruises, that is one of my complaints about the Arnuva's is that they are a little soft under the forefoot.

Comments about The North Face Fire Road Boa - Men's:

I really cannot make comment in the different categories because I didn't get that far. The shoe is very wide and maybe even a little longer than The North Face shoes I was using previously (Arnuva 50 lace), which I really liked. I returned this shoe the same day.

Service & Delivery comments:

The shoes took a long time to ship but not because of Mountain Gear, but rather due to TNF. Mountain Gear was great in sending me emails updating on progress.
