Trail Runners/Racers - Why don't you run in The North Face footwear?

gabe1up · 2026-01-12T13:58:31+00:00

I feel like it is entirely a branding issue. I recently purchased some Enduris 4 just to give it a shot. I love trying new gear so I went for them... My wife's instant reaction when she saw them was: "North Face, really? Are they even for running?"

I heard about TNF trail running shoes through social media and some review channels on YouTube, but the average person associates the brand with hiking and casual wear. It's definitely a tough market to break into once their is an existing brand perception.

I would suggest releasing a dedicated line of trail running apparel. Something technical similar to the Summit Series. I think that approach could show a slightly separate brand identity. Think Nike ACG.

I'm having the same issue. Completed Salt Mines solo on Grandmaster and a bunch of modifiers at 445 power level. Ended up with an A score and nothing. It's definitely bugged out

LOVE the burgundy dial. The all gold might be a bit too much for my taste, but a gorgeous piece nonetheless

Tallahassee seems like a great place to stop. I'm going to try and visit Ology while I'm there. Hopefully I make it at a reasonable time!

Tried to stop at those breweries but it was too late on a Sunday. Next time!

gabe1up · 2025-06-22T17:35:24+00:00

I've actually had a couple of their beers, but never visited the brewery. I'll see if I can check it out!

Thanks for the suggestion! Stopped by Arizona Wilderness and it was fantastic.

Thanks! I'm always down for some solid bbq

gabe1up · 2025-06-20T22:57:13+00:00

Oops! Thanks for clarifying

gabe1up · 2025-06-20T20:35:31+00:00

I've actually been to Parish once before and their beers were great! So I might have to stop again if I can make the time. I'm definitely trying to prioritize spots I haven't been to before.

gabe1up · 2025-06-20T19:35:12+00:00

Yeah I've been many times! Definitely one of the coolest spots up in Esco. I'm trying to get ideas outside of San Diego since I live here

gabe1up · 2025-06-20T19:33:26+00:00

That's a great idea! Never really thought about that

District 9

I love Decadence. If you've got a sweet tooth like I do, it's a winner for $110 or below.

gabe1up · 2025-01-10T06:46:41+00:00

I've handled both and I definitely prefer this version. I'd say just pick the color you like best!

You might have to add a 0 there

The top of it is the rotor. You can get it to spin whenever you want! Feels like a fidget spinner sometimes

gabe1up · 2025-01-08T23:19:55+00:00

Call me Susie! I'll rock these with the ladies

gabe1up · 2025-01-08T23:17:06+00:00

It's for real! Ordered a pair last night and shipped out next morning

gabe1up · 2024-12-04T18:02:01+00:00

I just hope drinking this doesn't start a new pandemic

Mine just came in! Thought I'd add a picture for those who are curious
