About Traction Boots at The North Face

Whether you're trekking through the forest in heavy-duty snow or navigating icy conditions on city sidewalks, your gear is the difference between a comfortable and safe walk and frozen toes and slippery soles. Women's and men's traction boots are your gateway to wintery, rainy, or snowy adventures, no matter where or when (from camping to training). From slip-on traction to hiking boots, the best traction devices come in various forms.

High Traction, Low Effort

The key to traction boots rests in the outsoles. Whether you opt for slip-on traction booties or hiking boots, our innovative rubber sole is specifically-designed for supreme traction–no additional, microspikes, ice cleats, snowshoes, or traction devices are needed to meet their potential. Provide better grip on slick surfaces, from rocky crags to city streets in your hiking boots or lifestyle shoes. In this case, with great power comes great comfort. For the best traction, Try the North Face's cold-weather-approved, snow-ready hiking boots for the best traction, perfect for icy conditions and winter hiking. Our boots are incredibly functional without sacrificing comfort, offering you slip-on options and easy-on looks that provide you with the best traction. Your feet will be happy from lightweight materials to built-in insulation no matter what cold-weather elements throw at them. Our best seller boots will offer you the accessibility, best traction, and support you need for heavy-duty winter weather.

Traction for Any Terrain

Traction can be tricky. The grip on a slick cement surface is totally different from traction on loose rocks or slippery mud. Our easy-on traction boots are designed to excel in all environments and on any terrain, from icy conditions and cold weather to winter hiking and chilly trail running. Are you running errands in a downpour? You can sprint those groceries to your car with confidence. Are you scrambling up an incline to view that mind-blowing? No problem. Our traction booties and women's and men's hiking boots tackle all types of terrain with ease—all while using recycled rubber that is better for the earth on which you lightly tread.
