Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S LITEWAVE EXPLORE WATERPROOF:
Very stylish and comfortable shoes but very poor waterproof protection. I wore those shoes on a rainy day. At the beggining everything was ok but after 15-20 minutes of walking under rainfall, i started feeling my feet wet. I guess there was not need to try them on the mountain on a rainy day. On the other hand they are very comfortable for mountain hiking on a day without rain. Fortuanately i bought them at an outlet store with 50% discount

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S LITEWAVE EXPLORE WATERPROOF:
Used this shoes during my trip from Europe to Asia. Had a pair of shoes that weren't good, and decided to get the litewave explorer, as they were in sold and we're available in Gore-Tex mesh.
First impressions we're great, until the moment that the shoes start to tear off. The part that the shoes bend at the junction of your feet and fingers start tearing due to the friction.
Extremely poor quality for a shoe this pricey.
Probably will be going back to Salomon as these lasted more than 1 year of heavy hiking.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S LITEWAVE EXPLORE WATERPROOF:
My immediate reaction was how comfortable these shoes are. I bought these thinking I would wear them the few times a month I went hiking. I wear these now every day. Not only are they good on the trail, I wear them to the gym or just to walk around town. The best part is that they aren't bulky and at first glance do not appear to be for hiking. Pair just fine with jeans.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S LITEWAVE EXPLORE WATERPROOF:
I bought these for my husband with our trip to Alaska in mind. They seem like they will be able to withstand any elements we encounter in Alaska. These sneakers are also great for hiking without looking too out of place if you wear them before or after to restaurants or stores, which is what we really wanted so my husband will only need to bring these for our trip.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN’S LITEWAVE EXPLORE WATERPROOF:
Loved the fit and comfort of these shoes right out of the box so I ordered a second pair in red/grey. This was unfortunately before I had a chance to test them out in wet weather. No joke-these shoes are not waterproof whatsoever. I am returning these shoes as soon as I get the time. I love TNF products and order/wear them all the time but these shoes missed the mark completely when it comes to being waterproof. Too bad because I love the shoes.
