From Backcountry Outlet:
"The North Face Women's Ultra XCR GTX Running Shoe caters to runners unafraid of tackling trails in less-than-pleasant weather. Snow, rain, slush, sleet none of it stands a chance against the Gore-Tex XCR waterproof breathable membrane and synthetic mudguard. Scree gaiter (sold separately) attachments allow you to keep going in even the most miserable conditions. Regulating your foot temperature is an Outlast footbed. Outlast prevents overheating and sweating by absorbing excess heat, then releases that same heat when the temperature drops to maintain a comfortable, consistent temperature inside the shoe. Trail-ready features include a de-coupled heel, reinforced toe cap, and a TNF trail Grip rubber outsole for maximum traction. Now fits true to size! *Not Available for Shipment to Canada."
From REI:
"Free Shipping on Your Whole Order when you buy select shoes and boots. Ends 11/15. Dual-density EVA midsoles with heel X-2 O2 air and forefoot X-2 cushioning provide shock absorption and support. Durable UltrATAC rubber outsoles use widely spaced lugs that expel dirt and debris while supplying reliable traction and braking. Extended Roll Control medial heel wedges and TPU shank plates deliver motion control, torsional stability and rock protection. Gore-Tex XCR membranes provide waterproof protection and allow extreme breathability. Molded TPU supportive overlays wrap ankles and heels for enhanced support; reinforced toe caps and heels add durability. Nylon mesh uppers with synthetic leather mudguards are lightweight, breathable and abrasion-resistant. Quick-drying nylon linings with AgION anti-microbial protection to control odors. Removable Northotic footbeds offer enhanced cushioning and support with multi-density OrthoLite polyurethane foam. Soft Ride system uses de-coupled heels and heel cavities to deflect pressure along with dependable motion control and cushioning inserts. These waterproof, breathable shoes are a strong choice for trail runners who want to train in any kind of weather and need motion control. Uppers have scree gaiter attachments (gaiters sold separately)."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Optimized for running on cold, slick winter trails, The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR is a shoe that holds its own under skies of all colors. Each shoe weighs in at around 14 ounces and features a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex XCR membrane that eliminates water penetration while allowing vapor transfer. While other cold weather trail running shoes may offer some sort of waterproof membrane, The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR dishes out a long list of features without piling on excessive ounces, a formula that won an Editor's Choice award in Trail Runner magazine. Both the heel and forefoot areas have The North Face X-2 cushioning for enhanced protection and energy absorption both up and down the switchbacks. Along the supportive Outlast footbed is an Extended Roll Control medial heel wedge to help keep you comfortably in your stride without painful mishaps. Beneath it all is The North Face Trail Grip rubber outsole, one of the best in the biz for traction on any slick pitch."

Wore these on Colorado Trail. Leaked on first downpour within the hour. Hated them after that and bought different shoes at next resupply. Wrote email to North Face but no reply. Didn't expect one. That's the end of me buying NF."

I just don't get it!!! Where is the fore foot cushioning in these shoes??? Actually where the heck is the fore foot cushioning in most trail running shoes? I can understand wanting less cushioning for scrambling up boulders and technical approaches because you want more feel in the shoe so you know what's going on down there."
