Extended Product Information

The North Face OFFTRAIL Hike Gore-Tex Shoes are built for optimal performance during trail running and training on technical terrain. The GORE-TEX® membrane ensures your feet stay dry when crossing streams or encountering wet weather, while its breathability prevents overheating. The Matryx® upper with Kevlar® reinforcements stands up to scrapes and impacts from rocks and debris, offering robust protection. On descents and ascents, the Surface CTRL™ outsole with aggressive 5 mm lugs provides confident grip on loose soil, mud, and uneven surfaces. The high-rebound EVA midsole cushions impact over long distances, reducing fatigue and providing energy return. These shoes are engineered to provide stability and protection for demanding off-road adventures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup Lace them securely to achieve a snug, supportive fit. Experiment with lacing patterns to optimize comfort for your foot shape and activity. Ensure your socks are suitable for trail running and training in wet conditions, as this can greatly enhance comfort and performance. ### Compatibility These shoes are designed for unisex use, suitable for adults engaging in trail running and training on technical, uneven terrain. The GORE-TEX membrane makes them ideal for wet conditions, providing a reliable barrier against moisture. They are not specifically designed for road running or casual everyday wear, where their aggressive outsole might feel less comfortable. ### Care After each use, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing to preserve the GORE-TEX membrane and material integrity. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
