After much contemplation I bought these in the blue color. It looks great! I have worn them on 4 hikes so far, usually I hike anywhere from 3-8 miles at a time. These boots have not disappointed! I am usually a 10.5 in shoes, which was not available so I got the size 11. It is a little roomy in the toe box, but I can imagine that I wouldn't want it to be tight while going down a mountain. I'm thinking of replacing the insole with one of my own since it does not provide much cushion. The tongue does not bother me at all like others had said. I wear a pair of hiking socks and it provides a good cushion so the tongue does not rub against my foot. These are completely 100% waterproof! I sloshed through the mud in the sleet and rain and my socks were dry! My only problem is the laces keep coming loose and/or untied during vigorous movement. I'm thinking of getting thicker ones with better grip. Buy these boots!

These shoes have good arch support.Width is just right if you have slightly wider feet than normal. They are breathable but keep feet warm when needed. I would buy them again

I work in a plant nursery and am on my feet and in the dirt a lot. I need a pair of shoes that are waterproof, mud-proof, and comfortable. These shoes are all three! I've walked through countless mud puddles and didn't end up with wet socks, so nice! They are comfortable, just like a good pair of tennis shoes.

Short tongue/major discomfort! I thought, at first, that these sneaks felt perfect in size & comfort when I tried them on. After having worn them for a few days of moderate walking, I've encountered severe discomfort with the poorly designed tongue. It's too short and, therefore, digs into the crook of the foot & leg. It's not the typical length or nicely padded like other hiking sneaks I've worn. I've tried unlacing the top 2 pairs of lace holes & while this helps a bit, the sneaks then become too loose. What could have been a good sneaker is a total loss of money. I have a size 8 foot & there's nothing irregular about my feet or body set. I truly hoped this would be a great sneaker (since I walk/hike often).

Completely waterproof and looks like sneakers -
I used these shoes to hike through Iguazu Falls in Argentina. It rained the whole first day and we hiked through waterfalls. My feet were not wet at all. I could not believe it. Others had wet feet and mine were completely dry. They were also very comfortable. I walked all over Iguazu, Mendoza, and Buenos Aires in the shoes and my feet never hurt. Really great shoes. I always get my walking/running shoes in one half size bigger, so I got the 8 and they were great. I would normally wear a 7.5.

Awesome AWESOME shoe! I am a hiker in the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. I just bought these after my Merrells were d/c. It has been pouring rain here for 2 weeks, and all the trails were practically flowing streams. I STAYED DRY! No water AT all! Great support, great fit, and light! Highly recommend! I do however, suggest you buy a color that does not show dirt as much, I bought the white/pink, and they are FILTHY, even after washing!

Disappointed. These look nice and are very waterproof. However after wearing once, it has so little arch support, I hurt my foot. It feels like plantar fasciitis is coming back. I need more supportive shoes than this.

I'm tired of women's athletic shoes that are baby blue and pink, so I really appreciated the fact that this North Face shoe comes in outdoorsy colors. I got the orange one. The shoe itself is very light and waterproof. I was recently caught in a downpour and my socks weren't even wet.

I really love these shoes! They look just as nice as I hoped they would. The multi-view photos are excellent depictions, but they're not quite as bright blue, but more of a gray-blue which is much nicer. These are so comfortable and well made. I wanted a sneaker, but also a shoe capable of hiking in rain or shine. I bought them for an upcoming trip to Alaska. They should do great with either shorts or jeans. And, as always, the shipping was speedy!

These shoes were comfortable straight out of the box. I am usually a 6.5 or 7, and I have a 7 in these. I would say they run 1/2 a size small. I am planning to wear these for my upcoming hikes!

Good for uneven trails -
Stable shoe for rocky wet trails. Runs half size small, I take a size 7 and had to return it for a 7.5. Shoe is a little stiff compared to a tennis shoe but not uncomfortably so. I also tried the Merrell Chameleon Gore-Tex but it rolled my ankle on uneven surfaces. I love Merrell usually but this particular shoe was not good for trails with rocks. The North Face Hedgehog fit the bill.

I bought these shoes for a trip to Yosemite and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to break them in (1 day) and how waterproof they were, even in the snow. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable and well designed hiking shoe.

Love, love, love these shoes. Bought these last year for a camping trip/vacation to the Rockies. They were terrific and very comfy the whole time. I was caught in a downpour and have to say they aren’t totally waterproof in that situation, but otherwise, they’re awesome. I love the cushion in them and will certainly look for another pair when these wear out. I did order a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear because my foot in wide at the bottom. Highly recommend!

North Face hiking shoes -
This is an exceptional shoe in many ways: I had to buy them last minute for a trip and thus I had no break in period at all. The shoes are light weight, attractive, comfortable and very functional. I watched the other hikers slip and slide on the side of the mountain in the mud while I never did ...not once! Great find and the other hikers wanted to know where I had found them.

Purchased these online late yesterday afternoon. Even though I expected the shipping to take 4-5 days (standard shipping), I received the shoes today! Fabulous! Zappos customer service is always great! Love the shoes; this is my second pair of them. They hold up amazingly well both in looks and comfort (for those of you who consider yourselves hard on your shoes). I've shown my old pair no mercy in all seasons in upstate New York. Very waterproof. The only drawback to this shoe is the arch support is only moderate. I usually use inserts to increase the arch support just a bit. (I've found other brands that are said to have "excellent arch support" to be just too much for me, then again the ones that say "no arch support" don't work either!) Just can't find anything that suits me "as is". If you're looking for moderate arch support these will probably work for you. Oh yeah, if your feet tend to pronate inward, these are the shoes for you! One of the few brands I've found that correct this problem for me.

GREAT SHOES!!... nothing else to say...
I LOVE THIS SHOE! I was looking for a Gore-Tex shoe for my trip to Sarawak-Borneo Forest, last December. After reading lots of reviews from others here, I decided to buy this shoe. And I was so thrilled that I bought this shoe. In the mud and very wet condition of Mulu's cave, this shoe had kept my feet dry. One time when we got off the boat, I was trying to walk on the tree branch and I fell off to the water about couple inches deep. If I weren't wearing this shoe, my feet would have been soaking wet and it would have been uncomfortable to have my feet wet and soggy while exploring the cave. To sum it up, overall, it looks great. I bought the Grey with yellow accent (love that color!). It's true to the size. I'm wearing size 7.5 and I ordered the same size. The shoelace needs to be tied twice though; otherwise, it loosens up easily. The shoe is very comfortable and very light. But best of all, it keeps your feet dry all the time (I've tested :-). Definitely recommended for those of you who are looking to keep your feet dry in a wet condition.

I bought these to wear in a production of the sound of music - the party scene. They are fab. I find most formal shoes run a bit small, and these are no exception. I got an 8.5M and I usually wear an 8. But the ankle strap keeps them on nicely, even if it is a bit stiff. But they look fab. I’ll also wear them with dark jeans and a fancy shirt.

Foot Heaven -
I just returned from a two-week trip to Morocco. I wore these shoes every waking moment and put them to the test. There is no "break-in" period. They are very comfortable right out of the box. The shoes are best when walking in sand, soil, and rocks and are waterproof. The only issue I had was when I walked on a wet surface. These shoes are not very good and I slipped often. Overall, I recommend these shoes.

I bought these to wear at work since I am often getting my feet wet and needed waterproof shoes. They were waterproof...but only for about a month, which surprised me. I also noticed that on wet concrete I would sometimes slip which also surprised me. Another thing that surprised me was that my feet will sweat in them, and I thought Gore-Tex was supposed to be waterproof and breathable.I do like the look of the shoe and they are pretty comfortable.

Outstanding service!!!!
I received my order the day after I ordered it. I couldn't believe it. The shoes were too small, so I upgraded my new order, and returned my first pair, shipping prepaid by Zappos. I placed my new order on a Friday afternoon, after 2:30pm EST. I was told that my new order would arrive on Monday, since I placed it after 1:30pm EST. It arrived next day, Saturday morning. I was stunned. I can't say enough about the service, and I love the shoes, except the toes are a bit more pointed than they appear in the photos. I would have preferred wider. But I still love the shoes. Will definitely recommend Zappos to anyone. This service can't be beat!!!

Wonderful boots!
I love these! Just wore them to clamber around at Tahoe in the slush and mud, and they were awesome. So comfortable, and gave me terrific traction on the icy trails. Not to mention they're really good looking. Every time I put them on I think they're regular walking shoes but he look and heft, but they do yeoman duty. I was advised at Zappos to buy my regular size and not go a full size up, and they fit perfectly.

This is a great shoe for any outdoor walking, sports or hiking. Traction in it is great and the waterproof material works well. I'd recommend this shoe to anyone who travels, they're lightweight and sturdy.
