I am into long day hikes and haul a lot so I looked for a trail shoe that is lightweight and durable, plus some Gore-tex and perks in it."

Durability however is poor. After one trip canyoning several tread lugs were missing, some were breaking and the soles were already starting to come off."

My only problems are that the uppers are wearing out fast and they have become more stiff the more that i use them to the point of being uncomfortable."

The waterproofing seems good until I wash them thoroughly in the tub and water gets through somehow.
I like them overall. The fit is normal to wide."

I'm filing this addendum. I will not buy North Face shoes again. It's not that these have turned out that badly - the stitching and so forth is fine after a few months' use, the traction is good, they still look fine, and as far as I can tell the waterproofing is pretty good."
