Perfect for those seeking a balance between lightness (420g) and protection.

Do not machine wash. Dry away from heat sources (stoves, radiators) to preserve GORE-TEX. Every 20-30 hours of use, apply \u003cstrong\u003eDWR waterproofing spray\u003c\/strong\u003e to restore water repellency to the upper. Check Vibram lug wear: replace when depth falls below 3mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDifferences vs Other The North Face Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the \u003cstrong\u003eVectiv Exploris Mid\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Hedgehog has a more traditional sole (less aggressive rocker) and lower weight. More versatile than the \u003cstrong\u003eVectiv Fastpack\u003c\/strong\u003e low-cut for technical terrains requiring ankle support. Less insulated than the winter \u003cstrong\u003eChilkat\u003c\/strong\u003e (no 200g insulation). Lighter than the leather \u003cstrong\u003eCragstone Mid\u003c\/strong\u003e (420g vs 550g).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Combinations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombine with \u003cstrong\u003eSmartwool trekking socks\u003c\/strong\u003e or Darn Tough (mid-calf height, merino wool) for optimal moisture management. Use with \u003cstrong\u003econvertible trekking pants\u003c\/strong\u003e from The North Face or Salomon for thermal versatility. Add \u003cstrong\u003elow gaiters\u003c\/strong\u003e for extra protection from debris and spring snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need breaking in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 15-20km on mixed terrain before long hikes. The synthetic upper adapts quickly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they completely waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, GORE-TEX guarantees total waterproofing up to ankle immersion. Beyond that (deep stream crossings), water will enter through the collar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long do they last?\u003c\/strong\u003e 800-1,200km with proper maintenance. The Vibram sole can be resoled by specialized shoemakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they good for via ferratas?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes for tourist via ferratas (difficulty A\/B), no for exposed ones (C\/D) where a rigid boot with crampon compatibility is needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use them for trail running?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, too heavy and stiff. Prefer dedicated trail running shoes (4-6mm drop, 280-320g weight).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to Avoid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eice climbing\u003c\/strong\u003e (requires a rigid crampon-compatible boot), \u003cstrong\u003emulti-day treks with a 15kg+ backpack\u003c\/strong\u003e (prefer a heavy-duty boot), \u003cstrong\u003etemperatures below -5°C\u003c\/strong\u003e (no thermal insulation). Avoid prolonged urban use on asphalt: it prematurely wears down the Vibram lugs. Not ideal if you're looking for maximum lightness for fast-hiking (there are models weighing 320-350g).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sportiamo","offers":[{"title":"olive green-black \/ 41","offer_id":47652624367803,"sku":"197065520007","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"olive green-black \/ 42","offer_id":47652624400571,"sku":"197065520069","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"olive green-black \/ 42.5","offer_id":47652624433339,"sku":"197065520236","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"olive green-black \/ 43","offer_id":47652624466107,"sku":"197065520274","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"olive green-black \/ 44","offer_id":47652624498875,"sku":"197065520519","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"olive green-black \/ 44.5","offer_id":47652624531643,"sku":"197065520557","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"olive green-black \/ 45","offer_id":47652624564411,"sku":"197065520601","price":148.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7526\/7771\/files\/The_North_Face_scarponi_da_escursionismo_Hedgehog_GORE-TEX_Mid_da_uomo_NF0A8AAABQW_verde_oliva-nero-TEXMiddauomoNF0A8AAABQWverdeoliva-nero_2.png?v=1775069250","url":"https:\/\/contes.shop\/en\/products\/the-north-face-scarponcino-trekking-uomo-hedgehog-gore-tex-mid-nf0a8aaabqw-verde-oliva-nero","provider":"Contes by Sportiamo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
