The North Face Altamesa 500 V2 Shoe
If these numbers (N 37° 74' 30" W 119° 53' 32") are punched into most modern GPS units, there's a sliver of a chance you'll be whisked away to one of the most magical places on the planet. The rest of you will have to travel, but once you're there, The North Face Altamesa 500 V2 should take care of any loose ends. Lucky for you, the serrated racing laces, dual midfoot webbing reinforcements, and lightly padded tongue will keep any loose ends tight and your foot put. Now, Yosemite has much more to explore than Half Dome, and there may not be a better daily driver to get you from hither to thither on all the various types of ground between them. To start, the wider underfoot platform complements the well-maintained trails on the valley floor, so you can take your eyes off the path and up to your beautiful surroundings. Second, the 4mm lugs and cushioned-but-responsive midsole provide grip when you need it and protection on rough trails as you venture into the Tuolomne Meadows high country. And last, the ultralight DREAM foam, padded heel collar, and seamless lightweight upper make the Altamesa 500 V2 a smooth daily driver on multiple trail surfaces.
