Berkeley, California is the birthplace of The North Face journey. Conceived in the 1960s for outdoor excursions, the Back-To-Berkeley Boots pay homage to TNF's heritage while embracing a durable future, fortified by a waterproof DryVent membrane and environmentally friendly nickel-free metal hardware.
In the fourth iteration of our beloved Berkeley design, TNF designers have elevated it with a full-grain leather upper and a lining crafted from 100% recycled PET mesh. The leather collar, suede logo patch, and rand are sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, reinforcing these boots as a conscientious choice for the planet.
As comfort is paramount, the Back-to-Berkeley includes a padded tongue for instant wearability and a molded-EVA midsole, with a significant portion derived from plant-based materials rather than petroleum. A compression-molded TPU heel clip ensures stability, and the rubber outsole is composed of up to 20% recycled content, underscoring TNF's commitment to a greener future.
