Lightweight, waterproof, breathable and supportive, the Men’s Dhaulagiri II GTX is an outstanding boot for backpacking adventures. Its upper features a suede upper and bomber abrasion-resistant mesh, plus a waterproof Gore-Tex® membrane, debris-beating tongue and sturdy rubber toecap. There’s an X-Frame™ crib too, adding support for the kind of side-to-side movement that is inevitably encountered on undulating terrain under a heavy load. Inside, the NorthoticÔ footbed is ergonomically designed for superb cushioning and support, and a Heal Cradle™ enables precise heel positioning for extra stability. Underneath, the Vibram® rubber outsole incorporates self-cleaning lugs that deliver excellent, sure grip along the roughest or wettest of surfaces and throughout the longest of hiking days.

NORTHOTIC™ FOOTBED
The Northotic™ is a multi-density footbed that provides enhanced stability, support and cushioning on the trail.
GORE-TEX® FOR FOOTWEAR
Provides durable waterproof protection from rain and snow.
VIBRAM® OUTSOLE TECHNOLOGIES
We collaborated with Vibram, long respected for quality and durability, to create various outsoles (Vibram® Humbolt Outsole, Vibram® Mikeno Outsole, Vibram® Walsh Outsole, and Vibram® Rubber Outsole Compound) with superior traction, stability and protection.
NORTHFIT™
NorthFit™ outfit the outdoor athlete with the most precise fit between the human foot and a footwear last, as they both relate to the demands of the activity.
X-FRAME™
X-Frame™ is a form-embracing, TPU crib placed on the medial or lateral side of the hiking boot. This structure governs pronation while also bolstering support for side-to-side movements seen on trails and uneven surfaces.
HEAL CRADLE™
The North Face® Heal Cradle™ consists of a polyurethane (PU) foundation with five pegs protruding vertically from it. A soft EVA panel is placed over the pegs, locking the two together like building blocks. The top layer of soft EVA has a slightly cupped shape that literally cradles the heel, helping to stabilize it in the process. It also works with the underlying PU to absorb impact. Lastly, it offers more lateral/medial stability, positioning the foot for a smooth transition into the next stage of the stride cycle.
