The North Face Men's Dhaulagiri GTX

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.

These boots have a number of excellent features: 1.) the outside sole grips wet and rocky terrain, the grip meets my expectations. 2.) The boot is broken in right out of the box. 3.) Comfortable. 4.) The boot looks good.

The only downside that I experienced on this second hike was blisters on my left foot, side of heel and side of big toe. Ouch! I should have stopped sooner to address the hot spots. I will take out the Superfeet insert and replace it with the stock inserts and will wear a liner under my socks to reduce friction and change out my socks in wet conditions. A few modifications may make the difference.

The first hike was not as steep and not has rough, no blisters.

These are the best boots I have ever owned and I'm 38. I did not climb Mount Everest — I trounced through concrete jungles, huge puddles, mud, snow, gravel and grass.

I have owned these boots for three years and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. They still look new and they are ultra durable. That's why they discontinued them — they are indestructible!

Impossible to find. If you can find them, buy them.

Terrible boots!! I bought these before completing the Jiri-everest basecamp- Jiri trek. Within two hours of walking my feet were soaked, the boots were not waterproof in the slightest.

Despite having worn the boots for a couple of weeks roundabouts beforehand, very large blisters appeared on the first day and then lasted for the whole 3 weeks. As dawn broke on the first morning as i donned my still sodden boots I noticed that the sole was pulling away on the left boot. At even a sniff of any precipitation these boots leak, the seems in the swade have popped. 

I tried to return the boots at the North Face outlet in Kathmandu, and was pretty much told I could keep my broken cheaply made boots, as we don't care.

I would never recommend to anyone to buy North Face footwear. The quality is shocking.  I've invested in a pair of Lowas. They're a little heavier, but they keep my feet dry.

Worst boot ever! After 30 high peaks in the ADK you'd think most of my feet trouble would be avoidable by now, but these cause the worst half dollar size blisters I've ever experienced. After inspection I found exposed stickes and seam strategically placed right on the heal and achilles. WONDERFUL IDEA North Face! WTF?

Very hard to break in also, I'd like to give them to my dog to chew on.....

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.
