What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've used the Offtrail TR for scrambling, steep hikes, and technical trail runs. It feels incredibly stable and protective without being heavy. The Kevlar-reinforced Matryx upper holds up to abrasion, and the full-length outsole coverage and forefoot wrap give me solid grip and confidence on rough terrain."When the trail disappears and the terrain gets rowdy, we lace up the Offtrail TR from The North Face to stay agile, protected, and surefooted. Designed for technical off-trail missions, this shoe thrives in rugged environments from bushwhacking ridgelines to tackling loose, steep scrambles. At the core is a reinforced Matryx upper with Kevlar for lightweight durability and support, paired with a high-tenacity ripstop rear for added resilience. A protective toe cap shields against rock strikes, while a responsive EVA midsole delivers balanced cushioning with a 6mm drop. Underfoot, the SURFACE CTRL outsole features 5mm lugs with full-length coverage and a forefoot rubber wrap for traction and durability across sharp, unpredictable terrain.
