Competitive trail running enthusiasts rarely mention The North Face among their top running shoe brands but that will change this season with the arrival of The North Face Endurus XCR® Boa Running Shoe. Most running shoes opt for laces and various versions of cordlocks but The North Face Endurus XCR® Boa Running shoe uses a thoughtfully engineered Boa system that allows for minute adjustments for optimal closure over your foot just the way you like it and every time that you run. The Boa has a special suspension system that allows you to dial in the fit so you never have to deal with pressure points or re-lacing your shoes to get the same fit you had the last time you ran. This fit feature might not matter to 5K recreational runners but if you go far on the trails the consistent comfort and micro-adjustment options mean that you have one less thing to worry about while making time on challenging alpine or woodland trails. Like other high-end trail running shoes from The North Face the Endurus XCR® Boa Running Shoe features a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex® XCR® membrane that makes this shoe essential for cool and damp weather throughout the fall winter and spring seasons. A Roll Control™ medial heel wedge inside the midsole reduces over-pronation risks. The combination of the large Heel X-2 O2™ air pod in the heel and blown rubber crash pad in the forefoot help minimize the shock of long runs down the backside of the mountain. The North Face also reinforced the design with an injection-molded TPU shank plate for increased stability and support on uneven trail surfaces. Find out what others will learn after reaching the finish line--The North Face Endurus XCR® Boa Running Shoe is a new breed of technical running shoe that raises the bar and expectations of competitive runners everywhere.
