Here's what other sites are saying:

From RockCreek:
"The Hedgehog GTX XCR Multisport Shoe by The North Face is a waterproof (Gore-Tex), breathable, low cut, ultra lightweight trail shoe. What more do you want when hiking in the Sierras for the day or trekking down to your local stream, the Hedgehog shoe is built with durability and support in mind. Many people have shyed away from the waterproof shoe claiming its too hot or too heavy, not with the Hedgehog. Due to its Gore-Tex XCR fabric, there is increased breathability without compromising waterproofness or adding weight. With the X-2 Air pod in the heel for the striking zone in your step, you get the best combination of durability, lightness and energy return. The Vibram sole has been long respected for quality and durability, as well as superior traction, stability and protection when on the trail."

From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face made the Men's Hedgehog GTX XCR Hiking Shoes for adventure racers and fast-paced hikers. A waterproof breathable Gore-Tex membrane fights mud-season trails and inclement weather. The North Face added cushiony forefoot and heel inserts, plus a heel air pod for bottom-of-your-foot delight, and stashed an antimicrobial covering on top of the ergonomically designed footbed to cut down on stink. The Hedgehod GTX XCR Shoe's lightweight Vibram outsole grips rocks and wet leaves as you fly over the trail."

"Addendum (2007-04-17):
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."
