"I wore the Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCRs on the Appalachian Trail, GA-VA, for two backpacking trips. One was just under 300 miles, the second was just under 200 miles. Both hikes were April and May. My pack weight was 35#-45#. I started out on the AT with a pair of Vasque boots."

"I've owned dozens of models of road and trail shoes over the years and I've never been more pleased with one pair of shoes than I am with these! I've worn these shoes way way out and I'm buying a new pair today.

I've used these for summer mountaineering and multi week treks in the Rockies, up ridges and down snowfields in AK and Canada, in several mountain races, easily over a thousand miles of trail running (not smart with one pair of shoes, even these)."

"Good for ultra endurance races . . . Errrr . . . . No !

Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR is the cheaper to produce version that replaced the Yellow and Mango coloured Montrail Hurricane XCR - Goretex (which by the way was rated as "don't leave home without them"."

"There's not much to say. I bought a pair of Hurricane Ridge shoes new from an eBay seller, and they arrived in the Montrail box. They looked good. They were my correct shoe size. But then I tried to put them on my feet.

Although I was successful in cramming my feet into my pair of shoes, they were waayyy too pinchy-toed to walk far in."

"I have worn a pair of Montrail Hurricane Ridge shoes for a year, running through the Colorado Rockies, and they are the best shoes I've ever owned. Their traction is superb on any surface, my feet are never too hot or cold, they were immediately comfortable on my feet without any breaking in period, and they completely prevent my tendency toward pronation."

"I'm currently on my 3rd pair and I love them. I wear the soles down! They're comfortable, waterproof and attention-grabbing. I've tried the Montrail Continental Divide and Vitesse, but came back to Hurricane Ridge because of better comfort and traction."

"I bought these shoes after much trial and error with other other brands of trail runners. I did my first 20k trail run last week, in some very sloppy, slippery, and rugged trail. I have to say that they performed flawlessly. No problems with traction, the sole was very rigid I felt almost nothing, the Gore-tex worked liked expected, my feet were dry; as the rest of my lower body was not."

"I think my problem with this shoe actually stems from an anatomical issue. My mid arch is just way too high to work with this shoe. I just bought them today, did a quick run in them, and my mid arch just ACHES on both feet. I'd like to give them more of a shot, but I don't think my feet can take it."

"I have heard a lot about these shoes, good and bad, but I have to tell all, these shoes are the greatest I have ever had in terms of the trail. They break in quick, they are light, agile, and they wick moisture like water doesn't exist. I would never leave home without these, even if I were to climb Mt. Everest, I still would put these in my pack as back up!!!"

"The sole started coming off on my first pair after just a few days. I had them replaced and immediately ran into the same problem. After returning the shoes, I bought another pair on sale at another vendor. The sole lasted a bit longer but still started to come off at the edges after a few weeks."

"I wanted so much to like these. I got a pair from REI (thank God) and wore them to class. My feet FROZE--I realized it was because they sweated, and then flash-chilled. My feet were never the right temp. They do have great traction, though. But I wore them on a rainy walk--not hike--and my feet got soaked fast."

"This shoe was comfortable out of the box and worn on an Appalachian Trail section hike of 80 miles the first week I owned them. I liked the sturdy sole which is stiffer than other trail runners. I was carrying 7 days of food and my start weight for the pack was 38#."
