From Backcountry.com:
"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."

"Fantastic boot well recommended. I've walked up many munros (Scottish mountain) with this boot with no problems. Break in quickly, grip very well, totally waterproof and they are the best looking boot out.

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)."

"These boots are junk. I returned two pair and went with a different brand. I wore then around my house to break them in. They started to fall apart before I could even take them outside. They are cheaply made. I would not recommend these boots to anyone."

"I just came back from a hike in very rough and rocky terrain and wet conditions. This hike was more of a mountain climb than a simple hike. The boots, socks, and feet were wet from all the rain for days. I was carrying a 30 pound back. This was my second hike with these boots."
