Customer Reviews The North Face Hedgehog 3 Mid WP

Even worse than the shoe version.

I just needed a pair of shoes that provided support to my feet while I did my normal daily duties, routines and errands. While they did take a bit longer to break in tham I would have liked (and it really wasn't that long when I think about it), I am very satisfied with them. I haven't tested them in water but I might have a better idea later today as some thunderstorms are expected. But I will keep them in mind as a repeat purchase when the time comes.

Just the way it's advertised. Never gone. Wrong with footwear from North Face

Comfort is a 10

I purchased these boots and felt great putting them on. I took them out on 16 mile rocky hike the following weekend. So far great.

I ordered the Hedgehog 3 Mid because I have been wearing Hedgehogs since it originally debuted and went through the original and the 2nd iteration. I walk about 35 - 50 miles a week in these shoes on concrete, asphalt, trails, and rocks in a variety of weather conditions. I have had to replace the shoes about every 4 months (600 - 700 miles?). These shoes do look better than the previous version and it appears that either North Face has created their own sole, or Vibram is letting them brand the sole as North Face (the Vibram label is gone). The drawback to this shoe is that compared to the first and second iterations, this shoe is stiffer, has a narrower toe box, and a less durable sole. The heel counter and ankle riser are much stiffer and gave me a huge blister on the lateral achilles the first time I wore them. THESE SHOES REQUIRE A BREAK-IN that the other iterations did not. With the narrower toe box, I cannot vary my sock thickness for the weather conditions. Lastly, I have been wearing these shoes for about a month (200 miles?) and the sole is already worn down on the heel. I kept them because I had ordered on-line and am lazy about returning items. I also thought they would break in and be more comfortable, but . . . In summary, because of the narrower toe box but the right length. I cannot purchase these shoes anymore.

decent hiking boot. great outsole and boot, insole could be improved

Size 11 means different things to different shoe manufacturers. Too bad, really, as they were nice boots.

a bit bigger for the size and don't like the color. So returned it.

these are now so poorly made, not waterproof and only lasted 3 months before the freying and peeling of the rubber was too much to bare.

Shes were too tight despite following size guide, north face would not do an online exchange after I got no response when trying to call in to their Washington Square location to get the right size in person. Now I'm back to square one without any boots whatsoever. Boo hoo.

Good product but poor quality, it don't last long and wear out too quickly. Good design but I don't think they last as long as I would like them to. I recommend them but only for something casual. Good

Super comfortable shoes, but so not waterproof as claimed, I work outside year round in BC and don't want wet feet. Also starting to wear out after 2months

I'm really bummed out I had to wait for these boots, then when I tried them on their too tight. It's have wore a 12 & 1/2 for 30+ yrs but these are way too tight in the toe box!

Pinched my toes. Really like the style so wish they would have fit.
