Offtrail TR Waterproof Gore-Tex® Trail Shoe

I bought these to use in wet, muddy Norway and purchased them in October 2024. So far they haven't held up well at all in everyday activities and hikes/runs ranging from 10-30km. The pros include that they are a good looking trail running shoe, they are great for my wide feet, and are comfortable for even longer hikes 30km+ (no blisters or overly-achy feet). However, the cons are overwhelming - a hole has already appeared in the upper, the treads are worn (much lower than I'd have expected for a few months of regular use), traction is extremely bad on wet rock/ice, the laces loosen constantly, and feet do get rather hot and sweaty. Really disappointed, will likely not be coming back to North Face again when it comes to trail running shoes. I previously wore Altra Lone Peaks, and running those into the ground took at least a year and a half. Really expected more out of these shoes. (I also mistakenly wrote this review on the Offtrail TR shoes, but I did actually buy the ones with Gore-Tex in the hopes that it would offer better protection against the elements - it seems to have not)
