The North Face Ultra Endurance Trail Running Shoe - Men's

I bought these shoes for my husband. He says they have great traction for off trail. They are a bit heavier than the ultra trail shoes, but that provides a thicker sole for more traction, support and protection for rocky trails. The tongue is padded so it snugs around your foot when you tie them down. Overall, he loves these shoes and the color is really cool.

I bought these shoes for the first time in January of '17, to give me a little extra traction on my wintry morning runs, and I have been overwhelmingly impressed. Since then, I have put just over 600 miles them, and I'm in the process of replacing them with another pair now, even though there is still some good tread left. These are true to fit and very comfortable, and their performance on wet surfaces is simply incredible. I've used them in the snow, ice, rain, and on black top, concrete, and trails of all kinds. I've even used them in runs as long as 13+ miles without the soreness I've encountered with other shoes. There may be lighter shoes on the market, but I prefer the support that these provide. If you want a shoe that can take on any terrain in any weather condition, one that is durable and will last much longer than most shoes in these category, and a shoe that looks tough, consider your search over. I will be a loyal fan and user of this shoe for as long as The North Face makes it.

I've run in it a few times and I like it. Nice shoe, not too heavy... I'm a fan.

I ended up returning this shoe because the sizing seems like it's off by about half a size. The shoe seemed nice, but it was just too small to be comfortable. I ended up buying another pair of The North Face in my natural size that fit a lot better.

North Face trail shoes are fast becoming my favorites. Very lightweight, but still offer full protection in the sole. The rubber is decently stiff as well, so doesn't end up breaking down on the hot, dry, and rocky terrain here in UT. Fit is great out of the box. For trail shoes, I go a half size up to accommodate for foot swelling and for some room for toes to move on the downhill.

Digging these for the downs! Seems like the right amount of cushion for big downhills, I loved them for Granduer west face downhill today and it's a decent long haul shoe too. I like the tread, but it's not for super slimy mud, I'll stick to Mudclaw 300 for the rainy days.
