Altamesa 500 V2 GORE-TEX
Altamesa 500 V2 GORE-TEX is a waterproof, high-cushion daily trail shoe for wet and unpredictable conditions. A PFAS-free GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, water-repellent ripstop upper and integrated lace shroud add weather protection. Full-length DREAMBOUND nitrogen-TPU foam and a wide platform balance rebound with stability, while a SURFACE CTRL outsole with 4 mm lugs supports grip and durability on wet trails.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The North Face US official product page lists approximately 10.7 oz (303g) per half pair for the men's shoe.
- Plate note
- The complete exact official Luxembourg construction page and exact Zappos product details list the upper, DREAMBOUND midsole, SURFACE CTRL outsole, and GORE-TEX system without any carbon structure. Carbon_plate is therefore false; whether an unstated non-carbon internal plate exists is not established.
