The North Face Verto Approach Hiking Shoes
Designed in partnership with members of The North Face® climbing team, the Verto A5 Approach Shoes are lightweight and highly durable.
Athlete-Validated Suede Upper
Designed with lightweight toughness in mind, the upper of the Vero Approach has been crafted using athlete-validated suede. In direct collaboration with professional climbers and athletes, this material enhances performance on demanding vertical terrains by maximising both durability and comfort. To shield feet from direct injury, protective rubber has been used around the shoe with medial and lateral rubber rands to protect the sides of your feet when scrambling and climbing, alongside a reinforced scratch-rubber toe cap to prevent damage from snags and bumps while covering unpredictable paths. For enhanced stability, the forefoot has an ergonomic fit that allows you to splay your toes, which in turn helps improve balance. On the rear of the collar is a heel pull tab to assist in putting the shoes on. Finally, a traditional lacing system has been added to provide strong midfoot lockdown for a confident and immovable fit.
EVA Foam Midsole
Providing plush cushioning underfoot, the midsole of the Verto Approach has been crafted out of lightweight EVA foam. This compound jumps into action when stepping down on unforgiving surfaces. Shock is absorbed into the foam, dissipating direct impact and protecting your joints and feet from injury. Within the foam is a midfoot stability shank, adding support underfoot on uneven terrain alongside an ESS rock plate to prevent underfoot injuries caused by sharp rocks and sticks.
Vibram Megagrip
Completing the Verto Approach is a Vibram Megagrip outsole that supplies a sticky grip for multi-directional traction. This high-performance outsole provides you with an unparalleled grip on both wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity, and optimal ground adaptability. The rubber can form a solid bond with the ground beneath it, ensuring traction and control as you explore the unbeaten path.
