From Altrec Outdoors:
"Made to fit a range of outdoor lifestyles, the waterproof and breathable Pinyon XCR Mid Multisport Shoe is a weather-ready, do-it-all design that's perfect for camping, light hiking and doing anything fun outside. It's a utility design that specializes in nothing except weather protection, although The North Face did incorporate key components from their best trail running shoes. Beneath the rugged, waterproof and breathable exterior is a GORE-TEX XCR membrane that's seam sealed around an ergonomic multi-density X-2 footbed. Inside the heel of the compression-molded EVA midsole is an X-202 air pod to minimize heel strike impact. There's also an injection molded TPU shank plate that helps optimize stability on uneven surfaces. The Pinyon XCR Mid Multisport is a great shoe for outdoor enthusiasts who specialize in nothing other than keeping their feet dry and comfortable."

"They'd be perfect if they were built better. It's the perfect cross between moccasin and off trail hiking boot and has the best sole in the industry. Other than that, their durability is lousy. The stitching starts breaking and the sole starts coming un-glued after less than 10 miles of moderate hiking."

"Shoe is comfortable from first wearing---BUT- after 3 hikes the front of sole started to delaminate and tread nubs were breaking off. If I took this shoe on a month-long hike, I'd be barefoot before it was over. Save your $$$"

"One of the most comfortable shoes I've every owned, including tennis shoes and sneakers!! They fit like a charm from the very first time I put them on, the ride feels like walking on air. I am in the snow quite often and they are sealed up tight, never leaking or letting in any water, my foot has never been wet whatsoever. Short put, a great shoe in all regards!!"
