The Men's Hedgehog GTX XCR III is an update to the beloved, best-selling Hedgehog shoe. With new design lines and an improved fit, the new Hedgehog is indeed updated, but it continues to retain the most important features including a waterproof, Gore-Tex membrane, a comfortable padded midsole, and a lightweight Vibram rubber outsole. When hopping and moving through rocky trails there is an injection-molded TPU shank plate for protection. With such an attractive lightweight design and comfortable fit, it is no wonder why The North Face Hedgehog has some many enthusiasts.
