In 1966, two amateur climbers, Dick Klopp and Douglas Tompkins, opened their equipment store not far from a beach in San Francisco. They chose the name The North Face (“the northern slope”) because, as is well known, the north side of a mountain is the more difficult one to climb. In 1968, they began producing their own clothing and gear for mountain enthusiasts. The North Face boots became especially famous, allowing wearers to get a firm grip on any surface. Walking on snow and ice became much easier with them.
By the end of the 70s, the TNF store was the only one in the USA offering a complete range of items for skiers, climbers, and hikers. From tents and sleeping bags all the way to professional poles, goggles, snowshoes, harnesses, and various mountaineering equipment.
The history of the The North Face brand
The brand became known for its innovative technologies. Gore-Tex, insulated TKA fabric, the special FuseForm fabric bonding, FutureLight fabric that allows the skin to breathe – all of these are inventions of this brand. The North Face winter boots guarantee warmth for the feet, keep out moisture, and at the same time make sure the feet do not sweat. Their footwear is suitable for running, traveling, mountain climbing, and simply leisurely walks around the city. In each of these situations, it performs excellently.
There is only one problem. Because of the brand's popularity, a great many counterfeits of The North Face are made. The Chinese market (and the Russian market too) is simply flooded with them; there are almost as many as there are counterfeit New Balance products. But the solution here is simple: buy only from stores that meet a certain standard. Best of all – from the official store of The North Face in the USA. In second place – Zappos and 6PM, two websites that receive products directly from the manufacturer and also often sell them at good discounts. The third option – sellers on Amazon/eBay, but only those with a high rating. There are almost no counterfeits there, but it is useful to play it safe once again.
Men's North Face boots: where are they cheaper?
The brand is very popular, and in Russia there are dozens of stores selling its products. Not all of them carry originals (counterfeits are especially common on Avito), but in many cases it really is genuine North Face. However, that doesn't mean you should buy there! Let's just compare prices:
1. The North Face Back-To-Berkeley Redux Leather boots. Great boots, one of the most popular models. A good choice for any weather. In Russia they are sold at a discount for just 9570 rubles (hooray! grab them while you can!). Available in two colors.
Meanwhile, on the official website in the US the same boots are sold for $91 (5640 rubles). And there are already five color options, and nearly twice as many size options. People with large or small feet will feel like they're in paradise here. Not to mention that they will save almost four thousand rubles (in practice, a bit over three thousand rubles, taking into account the cost of shipping from the States).
2. The North Face Ultra Fastpack III boots. In Russia these men's North Face boots cost 14 299 rubles.
How much in America? On the official website — $112 (6940 rubles). More than twice cheaper! At the same time, there are dozens of models in the US — they are all on different pages, and some are even cheaper, $105. Huge variety of colors. And the prices are simply incomparable.
Besides, in America, even on 6PM, not to mention the official website TheNorthFace.com, the selection is much bigger. Instead of two or three pairs of boots of each type, there are dozens there. And the prices are much lower. If you order The North Face boots from America, you save at least 3-5 thousand rubles, even taking delivery into account (at Prostobox.com it's $12). Very noticeable savings. For the price of two pairs of shoes in Russia, you can get three identical ones in the US. And you don't have to worry about whether you bought a counterfeit that will soon fall apart or not. On the official website and at 6PM, all models are genuine, just released.
Women's North Face Winter Boots
Maybe only men's boots cost that much less? What about women's?
In Russia, unfortunately, the selection is even more modest. But the ones that are available show the same trend:
1. The North Face Rovereto sneakers. In Russia, they are sold (again, with a huge discount!) for 5850 rubles.
In America at 6PM meanwhile, they are $59.99 (3720 rubles). The difference is more than one and a half times. More than two thousand rubles in savings.
2. The North Face Tsumoru boots. Very stylish North Face boots, perfect for fall and winter. In the Russian Federation, on a well-known website, after a whole string of discounts their price drops from 10199 to 6876 rubles. Wow, a full twofold discount! Surely you need to buy them right now!
In America at 6PM.com, there are many more color options, and the prices are — surprisingly — lower. The same North Face Tsumoru women's winter boots are sold here for $66, that is, for 4090 rubles. Even with shipping, the savings on one pair come to more than two thousand!
Children's North Face Boots
It's the same situation with children's shoes. Everyone wants to buy North Face children's boots, their quality is famous all over the world. Many stores offer the same models. But they can't offer a decent price even for the most popular one.
The most popular model of children's shoes here is the Youth Chilkat Lace II boots. Dense, durable, you don't have to worry about letting your child go out in them either in the rain or in the snow. Waterproof, made of natural suede. In Russia, at the very lowest prices, they cost 4670 rubles, and that is very выгодно.
On the official website in the USA, the same The North Face Chilkat boots are sold for $45.50, that is 2840 rubles. Taking shipping into account, buying one pair in America saves you more than a thousand rubles. And if you order several items and combine them into one package, shipping may turn out to be even more advantageous, and the savings greater.
