The North Face Altamesa 500 v2 is an extremely comfortable road-to-trail running shoe that handled every kind of run I threw at it on vacation. It’s not ideal for technical trails owing to its high and wide design, but on tamer trails it’s highly-cushioned and enjoyably bouncy.
Pros
+Comfortable, bouncy midsole foam
+Protects the legs on downhills
+Grips well on road and light trails
