[...] Beware of these shoes, I have only had them for about 2 months and they are almost completely worn out. The sole is falling off and even the stitching is pulling out from the sides of the shoe. DON?T BUY these unless you are into single-use disposable shoes.

These shoes are comfortable, stylish, and the rubber is very sticky. Aside from that, I would highly suggest buying a shoe of superior quality, which any shoe will probably surpass these in quality. I have owned a pair for only a month or two, and the soles are literally disintegrating under my feet. The sole on the left shoe is just separating in the middle of rubber (not even at a seam) and the rubber/traction seam on both shoes is pulling apart. I am willing to bet that these shoes will be totally shot in another 2 weeks. I don?t know about anyone else, but I think that The North Face has been making inferior products in the last few years. I own some old north face jackets that have outlasted my friends newer ones. I think that The North Face is slowly losing my respect, and my business.

really comfortable

Pros:
Durable, Great Traction
Best Uses:
Day hikes, Everyday

These are really comfortable. I'd say of all the shoes that I've owned it is probably the top two most comfortable shoe. It feels broken in out of the box. I have pretty wide feet and these seem to mold around my feet really well without resistance. Highly recommended for comfort.

I bought these before a 12 mile hike. They fit perfectly and have great Vibram soles with amazing grip. I had no problem at all for my hike and no hot spots whatsoever. I never expected a pair of shoes to be so comfortable. This is a must-buy.

Excellent casual shoe
By Nirzy the professorVerified Purchaser from Idaho on 8/9/2006
Comfort:
Breathes Well
Width:
Fit true to width
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Comfortable
Best Uses:
Everyday

These shoes are very thin and light. I walked around town for about 4 hours the first day I got them and had absolutely no problems. This is good considering all the foot trouble I have had lately. The should must be breathable because it was almost 100 degrees outside and my feet seemed to be the least of my problems. Also, the soles are really sticky. I wonder if that was because of the heat?
