The North Face Walking Shoes Ireland

The North Face Walking Shoes

Not every trail day needs a boot. The North Face walking shoes bring GORE-TEX waterproofing and grippy outsoles to a lighter, low-cut build. The Offtrail Hike and Fastpack cover fast day hikes, trails and everyday miles, for men and women.

The North Face walking and hiking shoes

For dry trails, fast days and everyday wear, a low-cut shoe gives freedom of movement while keeping the grip and waterproofing of a hiker.

GORE-TEX for wet ground

A GORE-TEX membrane keeps rain, wet grass and puddles out while staying breathable, which matters for much of the Irish year.

Grip for trail and path

Hard-wearing lugged outsoles hold on mud, wet rock and loose ground, so these move confidently from trail to towpath.

Light and low for faster days

The low cut frees the ankle for a natural stride, making these a good pick for fast hikes, travel and long days on your feet.

The Offtrail Hike and Fastpack

The Offtrail Hike is a grippy, waterproof hiking shoe, while the Fastpack leans lighter and faster. Both suit mixed Irish trails.

Frequently asked questions

Are The North Face walking shoes waterproof?

Many, including the Offtrail Hike and Fastpack, use a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. The product page shows whether a given style is waterproof.

Should I choose a walking shoe or a hiking boot?

A low walking shoe is lighter and freer for dry trails, fast days and everyday wear. A boot adds ankle support and protection for rough ground and heavier loads. Many walkers own both and pick by the day.

Are these suitable for everyday wear as well as hiking?

Yes. The waterproofing and grip make them practical for everyday use in Irish weather, and the low cut and modern looks suit both the trail and the town.

How should The North Face walking shoes fit?

Aim for a snug midfoot and heel with a thumb's width of room at the toe, since feet swell on longer walks and slide forward on descents. Try them on with the socks you walk in, and if you are between sizes it is usually safer to take the larger one. A secure heel does more to prevent blisters than a tight fit.
