The North Face is outside

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Men, Kids and Babies



Callin' out around the world,
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancin' in the streets.

With due respect to Martha and the Vandellas, summer, more or less, is here, and the time is right to get outside and enjoy it. Dancing is optional, but please watch for oncoming traffic.

The North Face

(click thumbnails to view gallery)


The North Face is the outdoors. They have been making quality clothing and gear for the active individual for roughly the same amount of time that their have been active individuals, which is about 40 years. History shows that prior to 1968 people were quite stationary, or at the very least were not wearing the quality and style of performance clothing that they should be. History is sometimes sad like that.

Obviously, The North Face carries items of every sort and is not primarily a shoe company, but that doesn't mean that they don't make a fine line of footwear. Please note the double negative. They make good shoes.

Whether you are a hiker, runner, camper, gardener or soaker of sun, they have the shoe for every man, woman and child. Consider them your headquarters for summertime dancing shoes.
