Customer Reviews The North Face Ultra 110 GTX

Nice shoes that felt good, only they were larger than most 9 1/2 walking shoes I've tried on recently.

The loops that holds the shoe laces seems a bit fragile and I'm afraid it will get torn quickly. This wasn't the case with the 109 GTX which I had prior (and were awesome shoes!)

Fits really well, very comfortable thanks

My go to winter running shoe in Minnesota and Wisconsin. My feet never get cold, I run up to -10. Great shoes, I also have the Ultra 109 which I have ran in for three winters and can still use as my backup. Seem to be very durable!

I’ve worn the 109 for several years and really like it. I needed a backup and just recently got the 110. From a fit and feel perspective, the 110 feels like the 109 which is exactly what I wanted. I hadn’t noticed the change in the lace loops until I started reading some of the reviews. Now, I’m a little concerned. So far I’ve only worn my 110s a few times, casually, and they’re fine but looking at them, I can see how they could break, depending the material. I wish North Face had stuck with the 109 loops. Otherwise, I expect the 110s to be fine substitutes/backups to the 109s.

After 7 months of moderate use, one of the eyelets gave out. I like the shoes so much that I ordered the replacement knowing that Zappos customer support has my back should they happen to fail again.

I prefer a wider shoe with arch support you can feel. I love the width of keens, but after trying the targhee II and a couple other styles, the quality just isnt there any more. They have a nice wide toe box, but the insole is flat and a little unforgiving. I found these after reading some field guide reviews. They are not as comfortable as my running shoes, but they are more comfortable than the various keen and merrill options I tried in store. As a trail runner I would probably pass on these (the comfort and flexibility is not quite there for that, although it may be over time), but as a hiking shoe I think they are great.

I bought my last pair in February 2018. I started noticing that their cushioning started deteriorating in July 2018 so I had to curtail my trail and off road hiking with these shoes. It's a shame because initially they were perfect. I'm a big guy (6'1/220) so I am thinking that these shoes are best for men who are lighter and not as tough on shoes I am. It rains a lot where I am which doesn't help the longevity of any shoe even if it is supposedly waterproof.

These boots (the earlier 109 GTX) served well on a 150-mile walk in England, including much rain. However, they lost their waterproofing at around 11 months. Northface replaced them for free. Unfortunately, the new pair had a seam come loose within 10 months -- have returned them to Northface for repair/replacement. I've ordered a new pair as well from Zappos (110 GTX) and am hopeful that I'll have better luck, since I find them an excellent waterproof shoe -- sturdy and comfortable. I hike maybe 100 miles a month, so I give boots a good workout. Still, in both cases, they should have performed better.
