The North Face Verto GORE-TEX Alpine Women's Walking Shoes

Engineered with high-performing three-layer waterproof GORE-TEX, a midfoot stability shank and The North Face's lightweight SKYCORE rock guard, the new Verto Alpine Shoes are perfect for rugged adventures and alpine trekking. Thanks to a high-tenacity anti-abrasion-mesh upper, protective toe cap and scratch-rubber heel, you'll benefit from increased support and protection on the approach. The climbing zone at the toe is ideal for edging, while the braking zone at the heel prevents the foot from slipping during steep ascents.

GORE-TEX Upper

Keeping feet dry and comfortable during alpine adventures, these shoes have a GORE-TEX upper construction, which provides you waterproof, breathable and windproof protection. This high-performing three-layer waterproof recycled construction is highly durable, working to keep feet, as well as the shoes highly protected. The shoes ensure that feet don't overheat thanks to high-tenacity anti-abrasion mesh, supplying your feet with an excellent level of airflow and robust protection. Allowing your toes to remain shielded from knocks and bumps on the approach, the shoes have a protective toe cap. Welded overlays offer increased support alongside synthetic mud guards. Finishing the upper, the shoes have three metal eyelets to provide you with customisable, comfortable support, keeping feet locked in and secure when traversing the outdoors.

EVA Midsole

Featuring a platform of EVA underfoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning, these shoes provide comfortable cushioning to spare your joints on tricky terrains. Generous, soft, durable and exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on long distance days. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. Energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. Paired with this is a rigid stability shank that ensures midfoot support, ideal for use on uneven terrain. As well as this, a lightweight SKYCORE rock guard helps to prevent injury so you can walk with confidence knowing you've got added protection below the forefoot. Finally, heel-positioning technology provides improved stability on uneven terrain.

Vibram XS Trek Outsole

The shoes are finished with a Vibram XS Trek outsole that delivers an optimal balance of traction and durability, providing long-lasting grip adventure after adventure. Designed to be responsive on unpredictable terrain, these shoes will help you move with confidence and ensure stability and comfort all day long, reducing the risk of injury and helping you get the most out of your hike. The high-traction Vibram XS Trek outsole is completed with 5 mm lugs, a climbing zone at the toe and a braking zone at the heel.
