Remember "Waffle Stompers?" If not, ask your parents what they think when you walk in wearing the The North Face Back-To-Berkeley II Boots. Patterned after the ubiquitous light hikers of the '70s, but with updated materials, the B-T-B II boots feature uppers of tough PET ripstop with waterproof suede around the perimeter and as lace reinforcements. They're insulated with 100 grams of PrimaLoft® Eco, so they're good to go in temps well below freezing, and sport Winter Grip® soles with temperature sensitive lugs for max grip on slippery surfaces. A great footwear choice whether you're going back to Berkeley from Oakland or Katmandu.
