A few weeks ago, before my recent illness, Adam Smith of fitnessfootwear.com let me have a pair of shoes from North Face - Hedgehog GTX XCR.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to wear them enough to give a proper review - they have been good though on the times I have worn them.I will review them properly in December after I've worn them around the Wharfedale fields and tracks a bit more.

In the meantime you can read more about them here and here.  Other North Face shoes can be found here
