HydroSeal
HydroSeal is a highly durable and waterproof laminate that delivers superb winter protection. This protective layer utilizes a micro-porous, hydrophobic lamination that allows your feet to maintain a comfortable temperature and not retain perspiration. It is also uncommonly tenacious, retaining its waterproof rating longer than many comparable technologies, keeping the wearer dry, warm, and comfortable thoughout the winter.
NorthFit
The mission of NorthFit is to scientifically 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. The North Face partners with English shoemakers with experience totaling hundreds of years to craft and create last shapes. We also continuously collaborate with The North Face athletes, collecting and applying their feedback from epic expeditions and training sessions. Finally, The North Face consults with labs and think tanks to ensure that the most reliable, quantifiable data and recent studies are taken into account. This includes three-dimensional foot modeling, measurements of virtually every curvature of the foot, including widths of joints, heights of cones, and calcaneus angles.
Scientifically outfitting the outdoor athlete with the most precise fit.
Mountains of data go into each NorthFit implementation. For example, research has found that the human foot can expand and swell up to two centimeters over the course of a long run, so our shoemakers have adjusted for a larger toe box in our endurance running shoes. By the same token, a morphology study of almost 900 men and women revealed no differences in foot length measurements relative to sex, but it did reveal a statistically significant difference in ball and heel width, instep height, and width. As a result, The North Face women`s footwear has a proportionately unique build from that for men. In this way, the outdoor athlete can rest assured and focus on the task at hand, knowing that the most up-to-date scientific data and historical learnings have delivered comfort and performance that is certifiably NorthFit.
