The North FaceMen's Ultra 112 Waterproof Hiking Shoe | Ripstop Leather, Rubber Outsole With 5mm Lugs

These are the best shoes I have ever owned, hands down. Too bad they are so expensive because I'll be buying these again and again. They have a firm sole which is actually great. I used to think soft soles were best, but they get hot and make your feet work more, plus the soft padding wears out quickly.These are literally all-day comfortable. They breathe well and keep your feet cool in the summer, yet also seem to be water resistant, so when I spill something (like tomato sauce) it just wipes right off. If they get dirty you can simply spray them and pat dry, and they look new again. I have worn the black ones for over a year and they still look new. I have never had a shoe that could do that! The fabric at the top of the heel backing has worn through, but otherwise the shoes have held up incredibly well. I wear them morning to night, and no need to change shoes when I hit the trail! No issues with seams splitting as has happened with so many other brands. Yes they are expensive but you won't need to buy shoes as often, and these keep their good looks, so ultimately I think they provide great value.

This is the seventh pair of TNF ULTRA’s I’ve owned in the past 15 years and I’m very happy with fit and wear. Yes, they are cheaper in materials but not quality. The sole holds up to my expectations and DRYVENT is ok for being water resistant (not as waterproof as Goretex).All my clothing from TNF has been five stars except shoes produced between 2020-1. The pandemic affected their quality and then there was the FutureLight problem. Now, North Face is back on-track making fantastic functional clothing for men and women who love the outdoors but hate to be cold and wet. Do I sound like a commercial?Update 11-18-2024: TNF Ultra 112 are still going strong after a year of constant wear. With the color being black, they still look sharp. I don’t mind Dryvent as much as I thought. Going to purchase another pair today as they are on sale.

nice shoes. fit as expected.

I live in Minnesota, so I wear these as casual shoes in the winter. They are very comfortable and offer great traction through the snow and ice. Love the waterproof, that way my feet stay nice and dry. I tried them out for snow blowing and they don't offer much for warmth, but other than that a great shoe for winter!

Quality build, comfortable, breathable and waterproof.Usually last me for more than 5 years.

I have had many pairs of these shoes ,very comfortable ,the fit is a little tight on this pair ,it seems like the rubber waterproofing totally came detached on the left shoe in like a month so not happy about that the grip is great I think I just got a bad pair by the time I was going to return the window was closed and the return process through nort face is just to sketchy !!

These shoes might be comfortable but they are too hot and do not breathe at all. I have worn the 109's for the past 13 years and North Face decided to stop making them. I thought I would try these thinking they were the same but they are far from it. If I could return them I would, but I wore them for a full shift at work and cannot in good conscience send them back as if I just tried them on. North Face Sucks now and I will probably never buy their shoes again. I hate to leave a review like this, but they were the only shoes I have worn for years and now I cannot get the same ones. Change is NOT always good!!!!!!!
