The North Face Verto Approach Shoes - Smoked Pearl/Black, maat 46

The North Face Verto Approach Shoes are precision-engineered for technical approaches, scrambling, and light hiking. Combining a suede leather and synthetic mesh upper with a Vibram Megagrip outsole, these shoes deliver exceptional grip and durability on mixed terrain. The extended lacing system reaches to the toe for a secure, climbing-oriented fit, while the TPU CRADLE™ heel technology provides stability on uneven surfaces. OrthoLite Hybrid™ footbed ensures long-lasting comfort, and the molded rubber toe cap protects against abrasion. Ideal for via ferrata and technical trails, these non-waterproof shoes offer a low drop (approx. 6-8mm) for natural foot positioning.
