Adjustable Padded Winter Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The North Face Launches its NSE Chukka in a British Khaki

— November 19, 2022 — Lifestyle
The North Face launches a new tonal iteration of the NSE Chukka shoes in a British Khaki colorway palette for the Winter season. The shoes highlight comfort through the colder times of the year and it is inspired by heavy outerwear. In terms of the shoe's technicalities, it has a standard tongue that is detailed in a spacer mesh material.

This helps with accessibility, making it easy to slip on and off. The laces are adjustable, allowing a flow through the heel and helping cradle the foot. Canvas rand is also implemented for lightweight protection -- all of this sits on top of an outsole-grade molded EVA midsole base foundation to round out the entire design.
