The North Face Women's Dhaulagiri II GTX is a lightweight, waterproof and breathable backpacking boot, made using a blend of abrasion-resistant textile mesh and velvet oiled suede, that provides great support and pack-carrying comfort and stability.
| SR1 insole: | This critical structure element is the most supportive insole board in the hiking line. It is used in The North Face backpacking boots to provide underfoot support when carrying up to 50 pounds of additional load. |
| X-FRAME: | A TPU cage placed on the medial/lateral side of the hiking boot that decreases pronation while also bolstering support for side-to-side movements. |
| PRONATION: | The natural tendency of the foot to roll inwards as the arch collapses under the weight of the body. |
| GORE-TEX: | An extremely waterproof, breathable and durable membrane laminated onto fabrics. |
| NORTHOTIC PRO+: | Northotic is an ergonomically designed, multi-density footbed that provides enhanced stability, support and cushioning. The Pro+ version is made using premium EVA, and features gel heel and Ortholite forefoot cushioning pads, and TPU Cradle support. |
| ORTHOLITE: | Open-pored PU foam with high breathability, good wicking, long-life damping and antibacterial properties. |
| WICKING: | The act of transferring moisture from the skin to the outer layer of a garment quickly and efficiently, where it evaporates. Provides a drier and more comfortable environment inside clothing/footwear. |
| HEAL CRADLE? PRO: | A moulded TPU counter above the midsole cradles and protects the heel, keeping the foot centred over a softer density of EVA for superior comfort and a stable ride. |
| X-2?: | Lightweight and durable cushioning embedded in high impact areas to ensure a well-padded ride and an energy-efficient stride. |
| VIBRAM: | High quality rubber soles that are renowned for durability and stability on all surfaces and in any environment. |
