Description of The North Face Mountain Sneaker - Women's:
The eco-friendly The North Face Women's Mountain Sneaker uses earthy ideals to provide a heavenly fit and minimal footprint. A forty-percent post-consumer recycled rubber outsole and cork EVA midsole offer organic comfort as a bamboo shank provides support and stability. The North Face uses plant cellulose fiber in the sock liner and heel cushion to replace synthetic materials, and a crepe toe cap and heel cup to offer form and protection.
If you think that these might be some lounge around overpriced TNF shoes you are saddly mistaken. North face went above and beyond when they created these shoes, I actually wouldnt even call them sneakers because they kick all of my other shoes asses. They have the performance of boots but in a sneaker with climbing laces. Lets start with the sole - They are super ridged so when your climbing or running around in the woods your arch doesn't get all jacked up. They arent really breathable, but whatever they are sturdy as hell. The lacing is a little lower kinda like climbing shoes so it gives you extra control. I have been eyeing up these shoes for months and when I saw them drop in price I had to try them out. It was worth the wait and TNF has come a long way in shoe construction since I bought a pair of trail running shoes 6 years ago. Great Great quality, I highly suggest these!
These shoes are really adorable, and work well as town sneakers. I have really high arches, and these shoes don't have much in the way of support, but I don't generally expect town sneaks to have much. These are comfortable anyway, and I have no problem wearing them all day, even walking most of the day. They have a burly sole, stiffer than a usual town shoe, that makes them a little heavier, but a little more versatile, better for cruiser bike rides and the such. I'm pleased with them as a whole.
