Technology

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.

Northotic™ Anti-Microbial Footbed
The Northotic™ is a multi-density footbed that provides enhanced stability, support and cushioning on the trail.

Gore-Tex®
Provides durable waterproof protection from rain and snow.

AgION™ Antimicrobial
A silver agent woven into the footbed inhibits the growth of odors and disease-causing bacteria.

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.

Vibram® Rubber Outsole Compound
TNF collaborated with Vibram, long respected for quality and durability, to create an outsole 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.
