Dick’s Sporting Goods is nearing the end of a major clearance sale on footwear and clothing that saw top running shoes from Brooks, golf shoes from Nike, and even bestselling hoodies from Adidas get markdowns of up to 73% off. While they’re probably best known for supplying gear for courts and fields, Dick’s also has an impressive selection of hiking and camping gear, including one pair of The North Face’s stylish hiking sneakers that are now over half off.
The North Face Oxeye Tech Hiking Shoes are on sale for as low as $59—up to 54% off the typical $129 price. These fashionable hikers have earned over 30 five-star ratings at Dick's from shoppers who say they "look amazing in and out of the trail." They're available in sizes 8 through 14 and are on sale in two fun colors.
The Oxeye Tech sneaker features a bungee lacing system and tabs on the front and back for quickly slipping the shoes on and off. The mesh ripstop upper adds breathability for warm weather hikes, and the soft collar creates a sock-like fit. TPU panels on the sides and heels add protection from the elements while the grippy 2.5 mm lugs provide ample traction on the trail. Colors include a sporty white and yellow as well as an earthy olive and tan option, and the heel features The North Face’s half-dome logo.
The shoes’ adaptability on and off the trail was a key part of their appeal, according to reviews. “I love this shoe and the ability to slip it right on. Fits perfectly and has a great style," one shopper wrote. "The versatility is key for me. I can wear it all day on pretty much any terrain, super comfortable.” Similarly, another shopper wrote “Love this shoe! So stylish, comfortable to wear, and very light. It's like you're walking barefoot!”
Though the lacing can take some getting used to, customers appreciated the ease of slipping the shoes on and off. One wrote, “Great fit. Very breathable and perfect for hiking in the summer. I also love the new lace system.” Similarly, another wrote, “I wear these with a pair of sweatpants or jeans, and they just work! Easily slip on and adjust in an [instant]. They are super lightweight, but very sturdy construction.”
Like much of its gear, The North Face’s modern hiking shoes work as well in the city as they do the trails, and the brand’s Oxeye Tech sneaker is a testament to that fact. On sale for as low as $59, they’re a great value, too.
