The North Face hombre Verto Alpine GORE-TEX Approach zapatos - Asphalt Grey/TNF Black, EU 44

Technical approaches and scrambles demand footwear that grips confidently on rock, sheds moisture, and moves with precision. The Verto Alpine GORE-TEX delivers exactly that: a low-cut, waterproof approach shoe built for mixed terrain where surefootedness is non-negotiable.

Who is it for

Men who tackle technical approaches, via ferrata, or light hiking in wet and rocky conditions. If your route includes slabs, scree, or stream crossings, this shoe keeps you dry and stable without adding bulk.

• GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort membrane: durably waterproof and breathable, ideal for high-output movement.
