"You won't be climbing any 8,000-meter peaks in The North Face Men's Dhaulagiri GTX Backpacking Boots.

The North Face used X-Frame technology in these boots-TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) Xs embrace the medial and lateral sides of the ankle to prevent rolling. PU midsoles and EVA heel inserts absorb the shock from your feet hitting the ground with a full load on your back. Full-length TPU shanks between the mid- and outsoles protect your feet from rocks yet aren't rigid and unresponsive. The Gore-Tex membranes keep your feet dry in wet weather or when crossing shallow streams."

Issues with boot: fabric can take while to dry out, gore-tex fibres are starting to pull out (Most likely due to the rocky slopes)."
