Very light and well constructed. They are comfortable right out of the box. I am able to tie them in a way that can accommodate my narrow heels. I love that they are waterproof yet breathable. A winner for me! Thank you again Zappos!

Looks good, feels good. I wanted a hiking shoe that had some water resistant properties cause I live in SEATTLE!! Wore the shoe up Mt. Rainier a couple weekends ago thru dirt, snow, and mud and it was amazing! My feet were comfy and dry and blister free after some rigorous hiking. I would recommend to anyone cause it looks as great as it feels! Thanks to Zappos for getting my order to me overnight - you guys rock. :)

Hiker - Nice shoe. I must comment that the tongue is really padded at the top and takes a bit getting used to. I played with various methods of tying them before finding a solution that now works great. I am replacing a worn Lowa mid hiker. These are lighter. I hike and often backpack with 35 pounds so require the Vibram sole. I need a large toe box so I ordered a half size up which worked great. They are a great fit right out of the box. I have yet to take them backpacking or any hike over 5 miles but to date they have served me well.

Great shoes for agility! I love my North Face shoes. I have lots of trouble finding comfortable shoes. This is my second pair and I am thinking of buying another. I wear them mostly when training my agility dog. The only thing I was not wild about was the color choices but fit and function wins out over fashion any day!

Highly rated hikers really are great - Outdoor magazine rated these as best overall for women, and they really are. Hold well on the trail, waterproof, dustproof, good fit. Only disappointment is that arch is not as high as reported. But fine with inserts. Great buy.

Just love these shoes! I've never owned any North Face shoes and didn't know what to expect. I love these. The comfort and fit are wonderful and I really like the look as well. The only thing that bothers me a wee bit is that the top of the laces fall under the tongue when you are putting them on. I'd actually love it if these had one of those cinches that made you not have to even bother with tying, but not a big deal -- great shoe!!

Hiking Heaven - I bought these for a trip to Alaska. Initially, I thought they seemed uncomfortable around the laces but with a heavier sock, these were perfect. They got a lot of wear on our trip and my feet and legs, and even my lower back, felt great after very long days filled with walking. They have become my go to shoe and my favorite for exercising due to the great support.

Tongue tied - This shoe's sole was very comfortable and the shoe was true to size, with plenty of room in the toe box. It's also an attractive, cool looking shoe. My only complaint, which is often my problem with hiking/athletic shoes, is that the tongue bunched up and did not sit flat on the top of my foot. I really wanted to love this shoe, but alas, I had to return them for that reason--just before ordering these, I had spent a week hiking in the Smokies with a pair of cheap hiking shoes that gave me the same problem, which is not fun after a 10-mile hike...I vowed not to settle for that problem again.

Great Summer Hiking Shoe - My family and I are day hikers. I ordered these hiking shoes right before a week in the Smokys, so they came out of the box and went immediately on the trail. They were absolutely the most comfortable hiking shoes I've ever worn. It rained some while we were on the trail and the shoes had great traction, even on slippery, wet rocks. I also ordered these same shoes for my daughters in the youth sizes. Their shoes performed equally well in the mountains. In fact, they prefer them to their tennis shoes at home. Great shoes, great price!

The North Face's Women's Hedgehog GTX XCR - I only use this shoe for hiking...it's a good fit, not too heavy on your feet, breathes well and has great traction, but if you hike a lot, as I do, it runs down fast! Would suggest using a different foot insert (gel or something to that extent...not much cushion and/or arch support).

LOVED Them! I ordered these to wear around Alaska...I just got back from my trip and not only were they comfortable, they are totally waterproof. I walked in all conditions, Rain, snow, sun, cold, warm...they did the job in every respect in all climates and terrains. I noticed they were a little slippery on wet slick things (like sewer grating, things like that) but otherwise the grip on paths, forest, and city blocks was amazing. My feet were warm in cold, rainy weather and did not feel hot on sunny humid days. I highly recommend these shoes for hiking, as well as running errands around town.

Toe box too tight for me - I tried this shoe and the 104 GTX XCR, and both were too narrow in the toe box. I eventually chose the Merrell Chameleon Arc Gore-Tex shoe, which has a generous toe box and also a substantial padded tongue, which keeps my foot from sliding forward when going down hill. The best of both worlds!

North Face Hedgehog - I ordered these shoes for a hiking trip without enough time to break them in! Ok - not smart but they ended up being extremely comfortable. I love the slight angle at the toe - perfect for scrambling steeper slopes. I tried them on in a local sports store and the 8.5 seemed too big. I wanted to be sure. They didn't have the 8 in stock and they also didn't have the color selection so I ordered from Zappos. I ordered the 8 and 8.5 to make sure I had the right size - normally 8.5 for me. The 8 did end up being too tight for my 8.5 foot and the 8.5 seemed slightly too large - but I could have been nervous about new shoes before a long hike and the thought of possible blisters. I took the 8.5 and wore nice thick hiking socks. They were perfect and true to size. I personally think they are very stylish and like the grey with a splash of color to accent.

Great Fit and Appearance - This is my third pair of North Face Gortex shoes and by far the best looking and fitting. I use them for daily walks and need waterproof shoes as the grass is usually wet. They are roomy and fit a medium to wide foot. I ordered a 10, when I normally take a 9 1/2 because my first two pair of North Face shoes shrunk. I don't think these shoes will shrink since they have mesh construction versus being an all treated leather shoe like the earlier models.

Love Them! I walked through my previous hiking shoes on my last vacation so I ordered these just before a recent trip to Costa Rica. They felt mostly like my running shoes when I put them on, they were so comfortable. They are also pretty waterproof. I got caught out in the pouring rain for about 20 minutes at the end of a hike and I was totally soaked. We spent the afternoon in our hotel and by dinner I put these back on with dry socks and couldn't feel any moisture. Lastly, they got super muddy on one of our hikes and were easy to clean off with a brush and some water. Highly recommended!

The North Face's Women's Hedgehog GTX XCR - This is an excellent light hiker: supportive, light, breathable, and super-comfortable. The aggressive tread makes it a very nimble shoe - and it looks great, too... I have yet to put the Gore-Tex to the test (other than in wet grass), but so far so good.

WOW! I have severe arthritis problems with my feet. It prevents me from buying shoes that I can just wear, and not have to break in for a period of time. Not these shoes, I put them on and away I went. Great shoe, true to size and they are a head turner.

Great Shoe for any occasion - These shoes are well constructed and very comfortable. I found them to run a bit bigger than the posted size, so you may want to consider ordering a 1/2 size smaller. Overall, they look great and feel great.

The North Face's Women's Hedgehog GTX XCR - This is an excellent light hiker: supportive, light, breathable, and super-comfortable. The aggressive tread makes it a very nimble shoe - and it looks great, too... I have yet to put the Gore-Tex to the test (other than in wet grass), but so far so good.

WOW! I have severe arthritis problems with my feet. It prevents me from buying shoes that I can just wear, and not have to break in for a period of time. Not these shoes, I put them on and away I went. Great shoe, true to size and they are a head turner.

Great Shoe for any occasion - These shoes are well constructed and very comfortable. I found them to run a bit bigger than the posted size, so you may want to consider ordering a 1/2 size smaller. Overall, they look great and feel great.
