This is my second pair and my third with the Boa system and Trailspace saved me around $25. It sure doesn't hurt to look around. All in all a very good shoe, maybe not very the best I've owned from North Face but pretty close.

The Boa system does everything as advertised. It lets you dial in the shoe to what your feet is doing during a long hike and weather condition changes. I have one pair that almost has no tread left that I use for just around the house stuff. It held up well for what the shoe has gone through, better than any Nike or Adidas trail shoe I've owned.

I'm a firm believer in Gore-Tex, whether it's in clothing or footwear. Yea I know it costs more but in the long run wet is not cool, especially if you have no way of getting dry for an extended period of time. The days of walking them dry are over for me.

As always unlike some I find the North Face line in general run smaller compared to shoes and I always order one complete size larger. I really lucked out on this pair not being a slave to color discontinuance by shoe companies. This pair was $40 cheaper than when I bought the previous same model and $25 cheaper than the current on sale price of where I normally buy my North Face shoes. So look at your options before just clicking to your normal supplier. Some of these discontinued colors can save you major money if you don't have to have the newest look designed by someone who most likely has never seen a trail other than on TV.
