THE NORTH FACE - Men's Hedgehog Fastpack Shoes - Waterproof Hiking & Outdoor Trekking Shoes

Product Information

CRADLE™ Made for hiking, Cradle™ Guide technology utilises a dual density midsole to guide your gait cycle and support, stabilise and cushion your foot. Since its formation, The North Face has become one of the best known and most trusted brands in the world when it comes to outdoor and sporting clothing and equipment. Move swiftly over the trail in rain or shine, when you trek with The North Face® Hedgehog Fastpack GTX® hiking shoe underfoot. The The North Face Men's Hedgehog Fastpack GORE-TEX® Approach Shoe has the following sustainability attributes.

Move faster in these all-terrain hiking shoes, with grippy Vibram® outsoles that ensure you never lose your footing. As with most of our experiences with the brand, it’s another solid design: the small lugs bite into everything from hardpack dirt to mud and rock, and the substantial heel does a nice job with braking on steep downhills.Furthermore, the Hedgehog Fastpack II Shoes are incredibly versatile - able to handle wet and muddy as well as dry and stony terrain. Finally, despite spending a fair amount of time on rough, rock-filled trails, the rubber hasn’t shown any signs of prematurely wearing down. Further, the wider tread spacing along the sides of the shoe isn’t prone to caking up and effectively sheds mud and trail debris.

The mesh and leather portions of the upper all are intact, and we haven’t seen any signs of the toe cap peeling apart (which, based on user reviews, is occasionally an issue). This means the brand has sourced factories who have passed an audit, so their worker rights, environmental impact and social compliance is up to scratch. Hiking boots are critical to your comfort and performance on the trail, but this no longer means a stiff and burly model that will weigh you down.

HEATSEEKER™ ECO Heatseeker™ Eco synthetic insulation provides durable, lightweight and compressible warmth. The line has gained a following thanks to its substantial mid and outsole that isolate you from the ground, and its premium insole has high levels of support and comfort. For you, this means more springy support for as long as the hike lasts; less time spent worried about the terrain at your feet and more taking in the beauty of nature around you. We tested this shoe alongside the Fastpack and found it to be the better option in just about every way.
