MEN’S ULTRA FASTPACK

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S ULTRA FASTPACK:

Bought these pair due to its weight feels really good for general purpose such as work, out and everything else. When I took it up Mount Merapi to test them out on loose rocks trail it immediately started falling apart. The glue and stitching came out. Completely wouldnt recommend it at all.

Great all around shoe! Wear them to work, running around town and the gym.

These shoes started to fall apart almost immediately. At one month the stitching came out and then the seams split open. Now the breathable material on the sides is ripping open.

The shoes are very comfortable and the soles are durable but the rest of the shoe is cheap.

I'm very disappointed.

Best of the kind in among all other manufacturers.

This was my first pair of North Face shoes --- and I must say, super impressed with the comfort, weight and aggressive style! Also a major plus to have breath-ability and reflective accents. Thumbs up!

I only wished they came in a neutral color, like earth tones.

I travel all over the world and am currently in an extrememely hot area, the temperature will not drop below 90 for the next several months. There are times when blending in with the local populace is desired but hard to due wearing bright red shoes and conversely the all black is too hot for the area. So if the shoes were more neutrally colored they would be cooler and ensure one could blend-in with the local populace. I also found they offer just the right amount of support for trekking through the airport wearing a moderately loaded backpack and large duffle bag. And have used them in the gym as well.

Do they perform? Absolutley. Are the comfortable? Definitely. Should you get a pair? Yep.

I bought these as a backup/night-time shoe for my recent Everest Base Camp trek. I have removed the insoles and replaced them with the Sidas3 d Gel insole for a bit more support - but I can honestly say these are like wearing a pair of gloves, they are so comfortable and so easy to wear and walk in. I am absolutely delighted with these shoes and am just heading out to buy a second pair.

They are waterproof, kept my feet fairly warm at night and have a decent amount of support and stability.

I love them.

I both this in SF couple weeks ago, because I wanted to something light, breathable and durable. Although I have multiple North Face apparel, I have never tried their shoes.
I went to the main shop in SF and they brought this from the back - it was not even on the shelves yet. I bought a size 9 (EU 42), that felt right. The day after I went for a nice but short hike (15 miles, nothing crazy, around Presidio, Golden Gate bridge, Battery Spencer). Halfway, I noticed that where you have that little red triangle in the inner side if the left shoe, where it bends, the seam ripped. After 10 miles walking. One day after I bought it.

So yeah, I was pretty disappointed. I brought it back the day after, but unfortunately none of the other types was this comfortable. I decided to give it an other shot, so I got a new one, but now I asked for a half size bigger.

I went for a short hike again (Twin Peaks, etc, around 10 mile). The seam did not ripped this time, but I see disturbing signs on both shoes.
I will do an other hike soon to see what happens - I really hope I don't need to take them back again.

My conclusion:
I really think it's a design flaw. If the show had a single piece of black textile instead of the red triangle (your shoes tend to touch each other there anyway as you walk), I think it would be the best hiking shoe ever, and would by 5 pairs now.

If you want to do yourself a favour: do a short hike before you go out to the wilderness with this.
