Customer Reviews The North Face Ultra Fastpack II GTX®

I just purchased a pair and broke them in the same day on a 5 mile hike at Bear MTN with an elevation of 1300 ft. They did great bouldering didnt lose any grip my feet stayed dry through mud and water and scrambling down was a breeze. Very comfortable , I look forward to putting some more miles on them. I highly recommend.

I just walked 40 miles on a week long vacation across Europe and was extremely satisfied with the performance of these shoes. While they are light weight, they provide alot of support, offer comfortable laces, and maintain alot of grip on wet surfaces.

I've just started climbing the NH 48..the day after I recieved these I hiked Moosilauke..very comfortably. Since I've climbed 6 more mountains wearing these and have been extremely happy with comfort, grip, and almost zero visble wear.

Ok, these shoes are: 1. It's fell a little heavy than them first model 2. The traction in the sole is much more urban and versatile. You can use it on a street or moody road. 3. They are water proof and first model no 4. Vibram rocks

Overall a complete shoe for walking hiking hunting or practically any job where you're expecting rain I put 3,000+ miles on mine in mud rain and snow and the only issue I have is the triangle mesh on the side is waring out but there still water proof just not as aesthetically pleasing,I just got back to Alaska and I'm purchasing another pair this week

I got these shoes on Christmas day and left for a 2 week trip to Israel two days later. These shoes hardly left my feet the whole time. They performed in every situation I put them in, including lots of walking, moderate hiking, and limited free climbing. On top of all of this they were plesant to wear on long plane rides and killing time in airports. The most notable, and pleasantly surprising, feature is the traction. I was blown away at how well these shoes gripped on so many different surfaces. The best overall shoes I've had in years.

Couldn't have been easier to order.

great lightweight and comfortable waterproof hiker. I had issues with the laces of the fastpack version 1, but version 2 seems solid after several weeks of wear.

Great shoe, on time delivery. I had one and I'll buy it again

Hikes

I have been wearing these shoes everyday to break them in after purchasing, crazy thing is they feel no different as the first day! Very comfortable and supportive of my lifestyle. Honestly do not want to take them off

Good, tough, yet comfortable, all around shoe for all kinds of weather conditions. I bought them for work but I will also be hiking in them. I needed a tough, water proof, low cut hiking shoe and these fit the bill.

Best look, feel, and customer service outright!

The comfort and durability are truly outstanding. This is my second pair. The first pair I purchased two years ago were not quite as comfortable, but equally durable. This new pair shows improved comfort.

I'm a frequent hiker and bought these shoes just before embarking on a Spring weekend in Yosemite, thinking the terrain might demand more protection than usual. As expected, the mountain trails were steep, rocky, muddy, wet and slippery. Yet, these excellent shoes did not disappoint. From the first steps of the climb to the top of the falls, through the snowy banks and back down to the meadow, they stood up to the elements. The soles provided excellent traction, the Gore-Tex kept my feet dry and comfy when stepping through the occasional stream, and the uppers were stiff enough to prevent my feet from sliding when descending the slopes.

I will use these both in the office and on trails for hiking and jogging.

I used it for trails sometimes and feels great

Great waterproof boots (no boot is waterproof when the water comes I. Over the ankle, duh. Good traction for hiking and dry Canyoneering. Very lightweight , and comfortable. The only issue is that the laces are a nylon material that catches on the upper eyelets and shred resulting in core shots to the lace. Other than that a great boot comparable to the Solomon's with better durability in the soles.

This is my second pair. The first pair were comfortable, good fit, good support, but the heel on one shoe wore out after a year.

I use these Hiking shoes to work which includes as lot of walking and standing and these shoes feel quite comfortablea although it may take a few days to break them since I wear custom fit orthotic inserts.
