Great shoes..............goodbye boots
Yes they are really light, comfortable and stable. Why bother with boots you can really move in these. My feet are on the wide side and these fit great.
Great for not runing in
I recently spent three weeks in the Zimbabwean bush working with lions. So, I wanted a comfortable, lightweight, durable shoe, and these were perfect for the job. I wore these shoes for about sixteen hours a day, and my feet didn't feel uncomfortable once. On the first day on the job I found one of my coworkers had the exact same shoes, and he lavished praise upon them as well. The only issue I had with them was that the mesh on the outside of the shoe trapped dirt/sand, and it took about twenty minutes of furious shaking to get them clean. I would also agree that the lacing system makes it difficult to get them really snug, but other that that these shoes were great.
Light Weight and Comfortable
These are great light weight shoes. The gore xcr will breath and keep your feet dry. I use mine for backpacking and hiking. The only negative is the lacing system. They could use some improvement.

Good shoe,but don't like lacing
These are good shoes for basic use,but I can't get them tight enough with the lacing system to snug-up my ankles. Great service from Altrec,though. Always happy to order from them!
Very good service ande very good Running Shoe!
Great service, ande great Running Shoe!
North Face scores again!
These are so light it's insane. They grip on wet and ice like they were made for it and are great for around town as well. The soles are perfect for light hiking and have even held up for me while backpacking. If you need a pair of light hikers, these are it.
Great feel, very waterproof,flexible enough for a run
Super shoes, look like they will last a long time. Pretty flexible and adaptable to fairly fast running. I'd recommend a good walking around break-in period to stretch out and soften the heel. A real bargain for such a high quality shoe!
Nice Shoe - Not Made for Wide Feet
Nice shoe, but not made for wide feet. Shoestrings did not stay tied and the after a hour or so of use, the top of my feet began to ache.
Durable/Good Looking/Blisters
Good - I went on a 3-day backpacking trip with them over tough and varied terrain - trail, rocks, scrabble, snow, etc. They were lightweight, but had a firm enough vibram sole that my feet did not get tired from the rough terrain. The gore-tex was nice also b/c my feet did not get wet through snow and marshy trails. I really like the look of them.
Not so good - I did however get really bad blisters on my heels despite two layers of socks. It's most likely my fault b/c I did not break them in. I was going to use some other hiking boots, but on a test hike I got blisters and went out and bought these b/c I had successfully backpacked with trail runners before.
Pass on this shoe...
I have had my share of hiking/trailrunning shoes, going through 5-6 pairs per year. This shoe leaves something to be desired... I bought it as a light hiker, not a trail runner. The hedgehog is very low cut and not stable on rocks and tough trails. My ankle feels like it wants to roll out of the shoe. The laces will not stay tied even when double knotted. The sharks teeth sole pattern was not durable at all. Tore one of the "teeth" off within 10 minutes of hiking in the Phoenix area.. Not to bash this shoe entirely,but lastly the heel area blew a seam. These shoes are now my painting shoes and went back to solomans for trail running and light hiking.
