Size and fit
The Trail Escape Edge is a low-cut TNF hiking shoe for men and women. It has a stretchy mesh upper that hugs the foot snugly, a lightly padded tongue and collar for freedom of movement, and a lace-up closure for a secure fit.
Enhanced grip and traction on varying terrain
This outdoor shoe uses a durable rubber sole developed by the brand itself. It features triangular lugs that deliver enhanced grip and traction on varying terrain, from rocks to loose dirt, gravel, and sand. The indentations are deep which is ideal for muddy terrain.
The North Face Trail Escape Edge is an ideal footwear for performance
This lightweight hiker comes with an EVA midsole. EVA stands for ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a special type of foam that has several good qualities that make it ideal for hiking footwear, such as responsiveness, durability, and cushioning. While it isn't as tough as PU, EVA is very lightweight and soft which makes it ideal for performance footwear.
Breathable, durable, and comfortable cushioning
For added cushioning and comfort, the Trail Escape Edge comes with the industry-leading hybrid OrthoLite footbed. It's a removable insole that is breathable and very durable (as it's made of recycled rubbers and proprietary polyurethane material).
Provides toe protection from sharp objects and trail hazards
The North Face Trail Escape Edge has an upper made of synthetic and mesh. Together, these materials create a protective, abrasion-resistant "home" for the foot that is very breathable at the same time. Lining the toe is a protective rubber that guards against sharp objects and other trail hazards. It also reinforces the stitching between the upper and the sole.
Easy to wear
Completing the upper is a lace-up closure with round laces. There are also pull loops at the back and front for easy on and off. This shoe is available in different colorways. It features a modern urban look with bold details.
