| The North Face Men's Ultra XCR GTX Running Shoe caters to runners unafraid of tackling trails in less-than-pleasant weather. The North Face Men's Ultra XCR GTX Running Shoe caters to runners unafraid of tackling trails in less-than-pleasant weather. Snow, rain, slush, sleet…none of it stands a chance against the Gore-Tex XCR waterproof breathable membrane and synthetic mudguard. Scree gaiter attachments allow you to keep going in even the most miserable conditions. Regulating your foot temperature is an Outlast footbed. Outlast prevents overheating and sweating by absorbing excess heat, then releases that same heat when the temperature drops to maintain a comfortable, consistent temperature inside the shoe. Trail-ready features include a de-coupled heel, reinforced toe cap, and a TNF trail Grip rubber outsole for maximum traction. |
Bottom Line: A killer trail running shoe for tackling wet, nasty trails. |
Reviews: The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's
GOOD BUT NOT GREAT ?
Great shoe in terms of design & fit, but (for me) needs more "cushining" toward the toe (ball of your foot). I also would not mind an "even more agressive tread design, of long wearing hard rubber". (Previous Sprinter/PoleVaulter)
A winner...
A really good trail running shoe, with perfect lacing and protection. The sole gives a better grip than you can expect from a shoe without spikes. The shoe is a little bit narrow. It is a quality shoe, that will hold for many races! Gore-Tex has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, it gets a little bit warmer than in a normal shoe, but not that much. Gore-Tex protects your feets from water, but if the water is deep enough, you will get wet anyway!
