Customer Reviews The North Face Hedgehog Fastpack II Waterproof

My use case for these shoes were for dog walks. I walk about about an hour a day, in all weather conditions, on a combination of sidewalk and groomed trails (no hiking). I wear these shoes as my daily about 70% of the time. I originally purchased these based on TNF reputation for outdoor gear, I liked the styling, and have had good experiences with vibram soles in other shoes. Sizing: These shoes run a little big, so this might be a good thing for some, they also have a nice wide toe box. For myself they turned out to be slightly bigger than my true to size fit. Performance: Good waterproofing, I've walked in these in all sorts of conditions, rain, sleet, snow, and they have kept my feet dry, I am not doing heavy hiking or running, so my physical output is low, and sweat has never been an issue. The Vibram soles grip as expected. I have not experienced any hot spots in the shoes, and overall they do the job. Durability: I have had these shoes for just under a year, but only hav been wearing them for just under 6 months. At about month 4 the inside of the shoe heels have rubbed and worn through the material, exposing the inner heel cup. The front/top toebox fabric has started to rip, as a result they are no longer waterproof. This level of wear based on my usage (not hiking) is a little surprising, I am outside of the warranty window since I didn't wear them immediately after purchasing. These are marketed as hiking shoes and as a result I thought would be a little more reinforced and have longevity for just regular walks. Summary: If you're not too concerned about the overall life expectancy of the shoe, they are actually pretty decent, if you plan on using them for actual hiking expect less than half a year of use. If you're just using them for regular walking, you might be able to squeeze a year out of them, considering I might walk more than the average person!

amazing shoes. my brother loves it

easy to fit

Excellent Fit, Quality is as expected from North Face !!!

Super confortable, I love it.

Great smeaker

Thank ypu so much. I like very much my shoes

I'm a delivery driver and I need a sturdy shoe. The vibram sole is is great, not too flexible because that can fatigue your feet and not to stiff like a hiking boot. The extra covering around the toe helps protect the shoe from damage. Thanks for making a great shoe.

The shoe is very lightweight. Every step feels so smooth and firm, I use it for my daily runs and can feel the difference in comfort level. Feels warm and as they say is waterproof.

Wear as my every day shoe and take whenever I travel

Hiking and trail running

I love these shoes,I'm on my second pair and will continue buying these I can stand in water over my toes and bottom of the tongue and not get wet feet

I got these shoes for work. I'm in and out of truck all day so needed something well made and waterproof. Perfect fit and comfy right out of the box. It rained the first day I wore them and feet were dry all day.

These are great waterproof hiking sneakers. The fit perfectly!

These shoes are great. I bought them because I live in Colorado and like to hike. I had a lot of trouble with painful feet and bought these shoes to fix the problem. Last Saturday I took a 9 mile hike up 14er in them and my feet did not hurt at all! This is my second pair of North Face shoes and they are both great! I never been disappointed in the quality and durability of North Face products.

I love my hedgehog fastpack II shoes. This is the second pair I've owned. I hiked a lot of miles, on some rough terrain, with my first pair.
