When it comes to trail running shoes, we've outdone ourselves with our line of women's VECTIV athletic shoes. Take on the trail with our performance-ready, lightweight shoes for trail runners.
High-performance women's VECTIV shoes
Races are won and lost on the descent. The VECTIV technology from The North Face has been proven by third-party research to reduce downhill tibial impact, allowing runners to train longer. Without compounding impact, you'll be able to take on mile after mile with less discomfort.
Choose the shoes that will serve you best. The long-lasting comfort of our Women’s VECTIV Infinite Ltd is perfect for ultra-long-distance runners. The Women's VECTIV Exploris FUTURELIGHT™ are the hiking shoes you need to push for the next trail. The North Face Women's VECTIV Enduris FUTURELIGHT™ Reflect is great for running year-round, day and night. The dual-density 3D TPU plate footbed adds multi-directional stability for runners who need high responsiveness and control.
Trail running shoes crafted with VECTIV technology
We've packed our trail running shoes and hikers with the tech you need for the most comfortable day on your feet. The VECTIV rocker midsole is perfect for running further. We've designed our rocker midsole geometry to optimize foot-strike and forward propulsion and combine with our 3D VECTIV Carbon Fiber Plate for a "fixed rocker." The fixed rocker adds stability and shock absorption without compromising energy efficiency, so you can push that extra mile. On the downhill run, we've reduced impact by 10% without the loss of energy return. A molded internal heel counter offers a women-specific adaptive fit to keep you moving and reduce the strain on your feet.
Comfortable The North Face women's VECTIV shoes
From The North Face VECTIV Enduris to the Flight VECTIV Guard, we've constructed our VECTIV shoes with comfort and endurance in mind. The breathable air-mesh upper combines with our wool socks to keep your feet from overheating on the run. Our uppers are built to resist abrasion, so you can keep going on rough trails without worry. Midfoot support and cushioning not only help propel you forward, it also keeps you more comfortable from warm-up to cool down. The rubber outsole offers the rugged grip 3.5-5 mm lugs of hiking boots and the lightweight surface control rubber of athletic shoes. Tighten up the lacing, grab your training gear, and get ready for a comfortable run.
Not only will your VECTIV shoes feel great, they'll look great as well. Grab a simple TNF Black/TNF White combo to match your running tights or spice things up with Maui Blue, Emberglow Orange, or Paradise Pink.
