The North Face Altamesa 500 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Altamesa 500 Trail Running Shoe delivers cushioned stability for long miles on technical terrain

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve been impressed by how stable this shoe feels on uneven trails without sacrificing cushioning. The midsole absorbs chatter from rocks and roots, and the flared platform really helps on off-camber sections. It’s comfortable for long runs and feels secure when the pace picks up."

When long trail days demand comfort without compromise, we lace up the Altamesa 500 Trail Running Shoe and keep moving. Designed by The North Face to handle technical terrain mile after mile, this shoe blends high cushioning with confident stability so we can focus on the run ahead.

A responsive, energetic midsole smooths out rocky ground while helping us transition efficiently from stride to stride. The wide, flared platform adds reassurance on uneven surfaces, and a secure lacing system keeps our foot centered and locked in place. Durable upper materials stand up to rough trails, while reliable traction keeps us moving confidently across varied terrain. Built for distance and control, this shoe is ready for the miles we’ve been planning—and the ones we add on the fly.
