Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry.com:
"The North Face Men's Fortress Peak GTX combines old-school style and simplicity with new materials and construction. The one-piece waterproof full-grain leather upper is seam sealed and lined with a Gore-Tex membrane to make sure you feet stay dry on the wettest October hikes. The Fortress Peak GTX also has a rubber toecap to protect against abrasion and AgION anti-microbial lining to cut down on odor. The Exclusive Vibram outsole TPU shank plate provide all the support you need for a weeklong backpacking trip and has articulated forefoot flex notches so you can walk more naturally."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Rated a Best Buy by Backpacker Magazine, The North Face Men's Fortress Peak GTX Hiking Boot refines the classic one-piece, full leather hiking boot design with plenty of comfort features. The structural integrity of one-piece leather hiking boots has never been disputed, but some designs take seasons to break in properly. The North Face Men's Fortress Peak GTX Hiking Boot gives you a head start with ergonomic Heel X-2 cushioning, multi-density footbeds and an articulated TPU shank plate. That means that you'll probably spend more time admiring the natural scenery and less time hassling with the fit. Most one-piece leather hiking boots are waterproof, but the Men's Fortress Peak GTX Hiking Boot is backed with a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane for extra weather protection. Keep in mind that this boot is all leather--no mesh panels--so you probably won't notice much vapor transfer through the membrane compared to lighter hiking boots, but you'll appreciate the extra durability if you plan on navigating serrated talus fields. Like other quality hiking boots from The North Face, the Fortress Peak GTX Hiking Boot has a supportive Vibram outsole with trail tread for optimal traction. It's a great balance of a classic idea infused with plenty of technical innovations."
From EMS:

AgION antimicrobial lining. Dual-density PU (polyurethane) midsole; Northotic ergonomically designed, multidensity footbed with AgION antimicrobial top sheet. Exclusive Vibram outsole provides excellent durability and grip on rough terrain. TPU shank plate with articulated forefoot flex notches for stability; lateral medial support system.
