The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR Hiking Shoes

December 28, 2008

I tried something new! I branched out from my usual Salomon XA Pro 3D GTX XCR trail runners, and bought a pair of The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR Hiking Shoes to test along side my tried and true Salomons. With grippy vibram soles and an antimicrobial footbed, I figured this trail runner/hiker would fit my needs (read- I want dry and stink-free feet!). Hedgehog Stats- Get the Skinny Gusseted tongue keeps rock and snow from sneaking in as you're runnin them into the ground! Hedgehog is sturdy enough to use as a regular hiking shoe as well as a trail runner. Great versatility. Vibram soles are great and tred is perfect for variable terrain. Soles on these hikers definitely surpass those on the Salomon in terms of grip and ability to handle terrain changes. Hedgehog Stats- Sizing Info The North Face shoes seem to run a bit wide. After running in mine for a few days, I had to go back to my Salomons. The toe box would be perfect for someone with a wide foot at the front and a slightly narrower heel. My foot is narrow all over, and they just weren't going to fly for me. Wide foot runners- enjoy! I'm jealous! Buy Now! The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR Hiking Shoes
