These are hiking boots from The North Face. They are lightweight yet have enough rigidity to handle a reasonable amount of weight, making them perfect for those who mainly do light hiking or day trips to 2000m peaks. They have waterproof and breathable functionality, reducing stuffiness while providing solid waterproofing. I've used them about twice and then stored them. There's no sign of hydrolysis, and I personally think they are in good condition. I've also replaced the insoles with Superfeet, which I will include. The fit is significantly better compared to the flimsy original insoles. 【Product Description】 These lightweight waterproof trekking shoes are suitable for 3-season trekking and feature "FUTURELIGHT™" (a proprietary material developed by THE NORTH FACE), a nano-film waterproof and breathable material made by layering micro-sized polyurethane fibers. By inserting a lasting board (shank plate) that covers from the toes to the heel in the midfoot, the rigidity of the bottom unit is reinforced. This allows for a flat landing even on uneven surfaces and supports stable walking even when carrying heavy loads. The exclusive Vibram® rubber outsole with a non-slip lug design is used. The original last, designed for Japanese people, enhances comfort.
