Why We Like the VECTIV Exploris FUTURELIGHT Hiking Shoe

We tie on the VECTIV Exploris FUTURELIGHT Hiking Shoe when we plan to trek into double-digit miles. The North Face's innovative technology perfectly balances weight and control to minimize fatigue and increase energy with lightweight stability and lively response that keeps us stepping long after mile 10. Wherever the trail takes us, we're prepared with the airy, waterproof upper and trail-conscious sole keeping us comfortably dry and solidly on our feet.

Stiff and runs small. Hard to break in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this shoe to walk 3 miles a day feels so small and so hard to break in. The laces wore through first 3 miles returned for new pair. Still not comfortable just hard to break in then other northface sneakers I have bought. Disappointing.

Great replacement for previous NF hiking shoes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these to replace a similar model of North Face waterproof hiking shoes that I loved for hiking, walking in rainy Seattle, and travel. Unfortunately, after a ton of use over the last four years, they needed replacing. I'm hoping that these will serve me as well for an upcoming hiking trip in the Slovenian Alps. So far they've been great in training hikes.

Poor quality, soles wore out fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After only two months tape seam started to come apart, and after only 1 year of wearing shoes hiking the soles has worn out enough that thread is not grilling on trails anymore & have to purchase new hiking shoes, will try Salomon's this next time. I believe shoes should last more than just one year (I only wear these shoes in summer and fall when I can hike) for a show that is almost $200 durability and its quality should last more than this, as well as for environment & having to dispose shoes within a year. It's unfortunate I would expect better quality from NF.

I'm about to order a second pair to have on hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are fantastic hiking shoes - lightweight, great traction, roomy toe box for comfort on long hikes. They accommodate my orthotics well. I hope that TNF keeps this model for many years to come.

I purchased another pair for next winter's adventures.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these for almost everything. Walking, gym cardio, and of course hiking. They are indeed waterproof -- feet stayed dry and warm during hikes in snowy in New Mexico mountains. I purchased another pair for next winter's adventures. I won't be wearing these during the hot TX summer as they keep the toes rather toasty as they are well padded. (The tongue is a bit too padded in my opinion.) I usually wear a size 8.5 but took advice of others and went to a 9.

Already repurchased.
