Customer Reviews The North Face Altamesa 500

The color combination and shape of these sneakers are unmatched.

I love these trail sneakers, I use them for every day wear as well as hiking. Unbelievably comfortable for my feet that need good support. This is my third pair, I have the blue and green as well.

I really dig these shoes. I wear them every day for work and I also use them for hiking and trail running. They are extremely comfortable and they breathe really well. Sadly, I'm wearing them out very fast, but I guess that just goes with wearing them every day. That would be the only negative I have to say about them. If you're looking for something extremely comfortable, you came to the right place.

Very comfortable Shoe the grip is very well designed and works perfectly holds up against the weather one caveat if you don't have good balance, it can be a little too squishy for you but other than that good Shoe

Fit is true to size (11), and super comfortable. Haven't owned a 'rolling sole' type shoe before, but so far so good. Very comfortable right out of the box, heel feels locked in.

sneakers with a crazy soft foam, they are a little big on the foot but they are very comfortable. the traction feels like an F-150 its heavy duty sneakers

Great for everyday running. It gets very slippery when in contact with wet surfaces.

These are fabulous walking shoes and are super comfy. The size is perfect and the support is totally fine with a great impact cushion in the sole. I highly recommend this product and I will certainly rebuy them when they wear out.

Second pair in 4 months. After 60 days my first pair tread wore out. Second pair 40 days, tread is gone in spots in center. This is only walking 3 mile average a day!

Best shoes I have ever worn. Got them just before a two week vacation to Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia. Lots of walking. My feet were never sore or tired the entire trip. I have arthritis in my great toes and that can be an issue with just about every other shoe I've worn. Not so with these. Just perfect! And you need to order a half size large for the right fit.

Tying shoes is a nightmayor The way it's lashed makes it too difficult. Strings when you figure out which one to work is to difficult to pull some times. It's needs strings that slide thru easier shoe provides the best cushioning on the market. Own 3 pair of HOKAs

the cushion is great for a walk or the job.

This is the only shoe that actually fits my size 13 foot. I have ordered a large number of other companies size 13 and all of them were too small. I also like the lacing system which allows you to tune in the degree of tightness. The sole is very comfortable for my painful feet. A great shoe

I really like these so far, and they have been great on the technical runs I do, even with the high stack. My only con for these is I need to re-tie them halfway through a run.

Exceptional support and cushion, however, the sizing is slightly large or more loose than some of my other north face shoes. I need to wear thicker socks to create a better experience. Awesome shoes and great traction as well.

Great design. This shoe is exactly what I was looking for. I run 16-20 mile trail runs and need a trail shoe with more cushion on my recovery runs.

I love the accommodating fit and smooth ride. While the stack height is high, this shoe is not a marshmallow. I've only used it on easy days and that's what I think it's best for. The shoe is not light and I'm ok with that. The grip seems adequate although I wouldn't complain if NF used Vibram Megagrip. The heel to toe drop is just right for me and the lockdown is great. When I first got the shoe there was a little heel slip, but after two runs the shoe felt more molded to my foot. The fit is true to size length-wise but wider than other trail shoes I've used.

There's one drawback lack of rock protection plate. Yes the midsole is thick enough for protection but itself needs protection from tree thorn and other rocky elements.

Input of foot was little narrow for me.

Not a great fit for my particular foot. Has strong perimeter support but leaves a feeling of less support in center of foot. Not as wide as expected.

Return it

Cruisy shoe. Not for steep or god forbid wet. The insoles slide around and bunch up pretty badly. Might try gluing them in place. Otherwise kind of just a chunky easy day shoe. Meh.

I like the look and thought I would give NF shoes a try. Not as comfortable as I had expected, walking all over France and Italy. A bit wider toe box than I desire.
