About the The North Face Summit Fastpack GORE-TEX Hiking Boots

The North Face Summit Fastpack GORE-TEX is a waterproof, ankle-high hiking boot built for fast, long days on trail. It pairs a GORE-TEX membrane with a Vibram Megagrip lug outsole (5 mm lugs), a nitrogen-infused DREAM midsole and a 6 mm heel-to-toe drop. A hook-and-loop closure and scratch-rubber toe cap round out a light, climbing-inspired design. The latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.

Questions and answers

Is $159 a good price for these boots?
At $159 at Distritech as of November 3, the price sits at the lower end for a GORE-TEX boot with a Vibram Megagrip sole. Comparable waterproof hiking boots often list between $170 and $220.
How do these compare to a traditional leather hiking boot?
They are lighter and faster-drying than most leather boots, with better grip on wet rock. Leather boots still offer more ankle support and longer-term durability for heavy loads.
Are they truly waterproof?
Yes. The GORE-TEX membrane is waterproof and breathable, and the ankle-high shaft keeps splashes out. Water can still enter over the top in deep crossings.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The drop is 6 mm, which is lower than most hiking boots. That encourages a more natural stride but may take a few hikes to get used to if you normally wear 10 to 12 mm drops.
What is included in the box?
The box contains the pair of boots and the standard care and warranty paperwork. Insoles and socks are not included.
When is the best time to buy them?
Prices tend to drop at end of season and during major outdoor-gear sales in late fall and early spring. Watch the price history for dips below the current $159.
