The North Face Fire Road Trail Running Shoes (For Men)

The show provides stability with my slight pronation. The forefront of the shoe could be better but for the price and quality of the shoe I give the thumbs up.

Over the last 5 years I've found myself purchasing North Face shoes exclusively. They fit well and the overall quality is what I need in a shoe. I've watched other manufacturers quality decline and as far as I can tell the first pair I bought is the same quality as the latest pair I bought. Plus, you can't bear Sierra's prices!

I have a difficult time finding shoes that fit. I was happy with the initial fit and feel of these shoes. I am disappointed in their durability. They didn't last a year. The soles are peeling off of the mid sole at both the front and rear of the shoe, the tread is almost flat at the heel and the fore foot, and the mid sole appears to breaking down. These may be good for someone to use as a dedicated trail running shoes but they are not good for everyday wear.

Sizing is perfect at 11.5. Immediately comfortable. Used so far for walking, running on roads and small hikes with a 12kg child on the back. Survived all so far. Minimal waterproofing. Good for its purpose. Sole strength looks promising for rockier trails.

This review is for a previous pair of this shoe. The ones I just ordered (haven't worn) are being returned this week.
