The North Face - Verto S4K GTX - Mountaineering boots

Since the 1960s, The North Face has been a mainstay in the modern alpinist movement; yet, interestingly, it has never produced a technical mountaineering boot ... until now. Mountaineers, the time has finally come for The North Face to introduce the Men's Verto S4K GTX Boot. Designed with decades of input from elite TNF athletes such as Conrad Anker and perfected with top-shelf materials such as a GORE-TEX waterproof breathable membrane, the Verto S4K might be a newcomer, but its climbing resume and pedigree are impeccable.

• GORE-TEX waterproof breathable membrane keeps your toes dry through wet, icy, and snowy conditions while allowing foot sweat and moisture to escape
• Rugged Panatex ballistic textile throughout keeps weight down without adversely affecting breathability
• Synthetic leather front and side rand provides durability for kick-stepping
• X-Frame tech provides lateral stability without sacrificing flexibility; injected TPU cage delivers a supportive midfoot
• Northotic Pro+ EVA footbed features a gel heel for supreme comfort
• TPU shank and polypropylene and fiberglass lasting board deliver the stiffness you need for French and German techniques
• TPU Cradle heel system is stiff to ensure that your crampon stays put, and an EVA heel pad ups the cushioning for your foot
• Vibram Mulaz outsole features climbing-specific zoning for superior edging and control over mixed terrain
