The North Face Women's Fury Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe

Description

The North Face: Women's Fury Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - Altrec.com Product Description:

It's not a trail running shoe, but you can run for miles in it. It's not a light hiking shoe but that shouldn't stop you from logging ten or more miles in the middle of June. The North Face Fury Gore-Tex XCR specialized in nothing other than outdoor versatility--and does it better than most hybrids that make the same claims. The upper consists of a durable combination of Nubuck leather and pig suede in varying densities to give you the right amount of protection without weighing you down in excesses. Beneath the overlays, underlays and waterproof ballistic textile fabrics is a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex® XCR® membrane that helps keep your feet dry and comfortable. Compared to other shoes with mesh uppers, the extra upper reinforcement material on The North Face Fury Gore-Tex XCR doesn't deliver the same degree of breathable vapor transfer, but it is an excellent shoe for milder climates and damp or even rainy conditions. The North Face added a TPU shank and forefoot protection plate in the lightweight EVA midsole for protection along the bottom. Underneath you'll find that the TNF Trail Grip™ rubber outsole has raised nubs and aggressive lugs in a blend of compounds for superior traction in slick conditions. This is a great three-season shoe that can even go the distance in mild winter conditions without leaving you with cold, wet feet.

Waterproof, breathable and lightweight Gore-Tex® XCR® membrane reinforced with 1.6- and 1.8-mm. waterproof Nubuck leather with 1.4- and 1.6-mm. waterproof pig suede underlays and waterproof ballistic textile fabric
Completely seam sealed construction with gusseted tongue to keep out trail debris
Odor-reducing AgION™ antimicrobial lining over an ergonomic X-2™ footbed
Durable reinforced toe box and molded rubber heel counter for support and protection
Shock-absorbing, lightweight molded EVA midsole with TPU shank and forefoot protection plate
Critically-acclaimed TNF Trail Grip™ rubber outsole with aggressive tread
Weight: 1 lb. 9 oz. (730 g) per pair in size 7

The North Face: Women's Fury Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - 8 Reviews

The all terrain shoe I was able to wear these shoes comfortably for 4 days of long hikes over snow packs, ice, rocks, and through streams without breaking them in first. The shoe fits like a trail running shoe (one size larger than dress shoes, same as your running shoes.) Plenty of room for an ankle brace while offering tremendous stability both on climbs and descents. Hiked with several other people through spring snow melt and was the only one without wet feet at the end of the day.

A stylish, well-built shoe Great look and construction; I usually order a half size bigger than my regular shoe size but found I needed a whole size bigger on this one. Pretty good comfort--lightweight and not clunky; it does get a little warm after awhile of wearing.
