Summary

This is simply the best light hiker I've ever worn. I am currently killing my 5th pair. These light, grippy shoes are rugged enough for most anything and the Gore liner keeps out the morning dew. The Hedgehog is dirt ready right out of the box.

Pros

The Hedgehog is light, grippy, provides good protection from the elements and hikes well on almost any terrain.
This has been my shoe of choice for three years.

Cons

Considering what the shoe was designed for, I can't find anything to complain about. I'm sold on the Hedgehog GTX.

The TNF Hedgehog GTX has been my only light hiker for the past four years. I've put this shoe through hell and I'm currently in the process of killing my 5th pair. I typically get 300-500 miles out of a pair. The Hedgehog laces up well, has a comfortable and snug heel, and plenty of room in the toe box. Lightweight, grippy, and totally capable right out of the box, I'll keep buying this shoe as long as The North Face makes it.
