It is written: Athletic outdoor enthusiasts will choose the Prophecy for multisport versatility.

Tough enough for trail runs and grippy enough for scrambles The North Face Prophecy Shoe uses an innovative lightweight design and cushioned Heel X-2 O2 air pod to keep it a leap ahead of competitors. Until now many outdoor companies opted for multisport shoes that do a lot of stuff but don't do anything particularly well (sort of like those cheap gym cross trainers you find on sale at the discount outlets that advertise in Sunday newspapers). The North Face Prophecy is decisively different with an exclusive and lightweight high-traction Vibram rubber outsole and a cushioned X-2 O2 air pod in the heel for trails and steep scrambles. The extra impact-absorption in the compression-molded EVA midsole gives the Prophecy plenty of trail running potential for runners especially if you require outdoor footwear with mesh panels for cooling. There's also an injected TPU shank plate in the midsole to enhance the stability without adding the extra weight found in steel-shank hiking and climbing boots. Whether you're looking for a shoe that you can use to trot or hike on trails or you need a portable high-traction trail design for the most adventurous legs of your adventure travel The North Face Prophecy shoe is a true multisport design made from quality components.
