The North Face Hedgehog GTX

The North Face Hedgehog GTX is a well-known technical hiking shoe designed for performance in varied terrains. The 'Hedgehog' line has been a staple in the brand's outdoor footwear collection for years, favored for its versatility and the inclusion of GORE-TEX (GTX) technology for waterproofing.

The North Face brand was founded in 1966 in San Francisco, California, by Douglas Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell. Originally started as a small mountaineering retail store, it has evolved into a global leader in outdoor apparel and equipment. While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing operations are global, with production facilities primarily located in Vietnam, China, and Cambodia to serve the international market.

Since 2000, The North Face has been a key brand under the portfolio of VF Corporation. VF Corporation is a major American global apparel and footwear company headquartered in Denver, Colorado. This ownership places The North Face alongside other iconic lifestyle and outdoor brands like Vans and Timberland, benefiting from a massive global distribution network.
