Customer Reviews The North Face Activist Mid Futurelight

These shoes keep you dry when it's raining and in the snow. However, they are fairly narrow shoes with absolutely no cushion, and not enough room to add inserts.

Great boots for hiking, also in slightly wet weather, but hiking through grass in the rain, made my feet quite wet. That disappoints me since I bought them because the alleged waterproof membrane.

This shoe is so urban! It is great for bunions because the fabric mesh lets it stretch. I wear 8.5 in most brands, bought a 9 in the future light activist and need 9.5. Right food length is good for half size up but the left foot seems shorter and need full size up. This may be mis-classified as a hiking shoe. The sole is stiff and thick, even stiffer than the future light III. I like to feel the ground more when hiking. This shoe may be for light hikers who do a few miles in flat urban environments or 3 miles on steep mountain terrain. I haven't tested it but I don't think I will do long hikes with elevation in these.

I've had these for 8months and wear them hiking. Fine for dry hikes, they're comfortable and light. But they are in no way waterproof. Get used to wet feet.

The last pair of TNF "waterproof" boots I'll try. Sorry, but if I'm wading through a stream for more than 30 seconds my feet shouldn't get wet. It happens at the creases at the sides where the shoe bends to step. My partner with her Merrells could stand in the same stream with zero issues. TNF boots - 0, rivers and lakes that I'm used to - 4. The boots are stiff. If you have a large/tall instep you'll have a hard time getting these on as the tongue gusset is pretty tight. I had some real pressure points on my ankles and needed a few days to break these in. I love that deep red color, but they're going back.
