The North Face is skilled at crafting any form of outdoor attire, meaning its catalog is not limited to puffer jackets and cozy mules. While we’re on the topic of footwear, though, there’s no better time than the fall to invest in a good pair of hiking boots. That said, the heritage brand’s VECTIV Fastpack Mid FUTURELIGHT silhouette is an excellent choice for your next outdoor trek.
The ankle-high stompers are essentially built to tackle fall and winter forecasts, primarily thanks to their abrasion-resistant mesh uppers, which are bolstered with TNF’s signature FUTURELIGHT membrane to enhance waterproof capabilities and promote breathability. Additionally, the top half of the shoe features molded LYCRA collars for maximum comfort and gusseted tongues to prevent debris pile-up.
Speaking of keeping things comfortable, the boots sit on OrthoLite X55 footbeds made with 5% recycled rubber, deeming them as sustainable as they are sturdy. While wearability comes first and foremost, a trusty amount of traction and stability is integral to a safe day on the trails, which is where TNF’s signature VECTIV tech and Surface Control outsoles come into play.
A good pair of hiking boots will go a long way, and there’s no better place to look than north. The North Face’s VECTIV Fastback Mid FUTURELIGHT Hiking Boots are available on REI for $155.
