User Review: Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR
|
Rating: 
Materials: gore-tex and others
Use: everyday use for walking, cycling and short hikes
Break-in Period: few days
Price Paid: $90
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.
More worrisome is the fact that after a few month, the upper mesh started to break at the areas where the material gets bent while walking. This is reinforced by the stiff plastic elements built around the upper and lower end of the upper material. This happened on the right and left shoes and on both, inside and outside part in a very symmetrical pattern. It suggests bad design.
After a 1/2 year they look like they are three years old and are far from being waterproof even with Gore-Tex. I would not buy these shoes again. However, I must note that they were always very comforable and that there was virtually no break-in period. That's what caused me to try them again at the beginning. Not anymore!
