I've been using Vectiv Enduris 3 for a month now and it exceeds my experience, when you run it pushes you forward because of the mid sole TPU some rain pours in without socks water just goes off because of the TPU insoles, permiated mesh. when its wet it dries off faster.. i tested it on rivers. Rubber soles has the best grip. Its so lightweight. my feet loves it.

So far I'm enjoying the Vector Enduris 3. I like the muted color, and the cushioning is nice. For me, this shoe wants to be a mid-foot striking shoe where some other trail runners are more forefoot striking.Using the heal lock lacing pattern, the shoe strings are a good length, though they feel a little thin. But so far they are holding up fine and they don't cut into the foot. The toe box is roomy, and is the primary reason why I tried them.The material around the toe feels almost plasticized and retains some dimples after being broken in. It will be interesting to see if this holds up over time. If I were to give TNF a suggestion it would be to keep the toe box roomy, but reduce the volume of this area by lowering the height closer to the toes.The shoe to me ... MoreSo far I'm enjoying the Vector Enduris 3.

On my initial run it felt a little squishy, but it has since firmed up nicely and gives a nice ride through trails.The tread is very nice. I haven't run in mud or rain soaked rocks, yet, but on dry rocks and roots, it is very grippy. I like the lug pattern.The heal is nicely padded. The tongue is minimally padded.. For going downhill and heal braking, it has a lot of nice cushioning. I doubt I would use this shoe on highly technical terrain. I'd want something a little closer to the ground that was more tightly formed around my foot.

I love this shoe. I've run in all sorts of trail shoes over the years since I began running ultramarathons in 2004. This past week I ran the Kodiak 100k in these shoes, and the bottom line is that I didn't feel like taking them off even after the race. I usually can't wait to change shoes after or I change shoes mid-race, so that's pretty amazing. Great protection and cushion and the ride does well with slow and fast paces - it's great for solid biomechanics. The upper is fantastic and for someone like me with a sensitive instep, the cushioned tongue provides support without pain over the long haul. I also have Morton's neuroma in my right foot and this shoe keeps the pain at bay. If I were to find one weak spot, it's the traction (small lugs) and wear life of the ... MoreI love this shoe.

It's good for all but the gnarliest of trails if you're quick on your feet, but will wear down faster than the midsole and upper. Interestingly, but not specifically relevant to the merits of the shoe - though most runners were wearing Hokas and Altras (...like I used to), I didn't see a single pair of TNFs at the race. Crazy. These feel like some amazing secret. Keep up the great work, North Face!

If you are looking for a light trail runner with a big stack height and a ton of rocker that you can actually feel pushing you forward the Enduris II should definitely be a shoe you try. TNF nailed it with this shoe!I've had Hoka Speed Goats in the past and prefer the Enduris II. It has a roomier toe box than the Speedgoat and the rocker in the sole is better in my opinion. It's on the light side for a trail runner which is what I was looking for.If you are running daily on trails that are hard on a shoe's upper where abrasion resistance is king and you need a stiff supportive sole this isn't really the shoe for you, but that's not what it's designed to due.Don't get me wrong it can certainly handle that type of trail too... it's built very well and has ... MoreIf you are looking for a light trail runner with a big stack height and a ton of rocker that you can actually feel pushing you forward the Enduris II should definitely be a shoe you try.

It's designed for that sweet spot of light and durable which it does very well. The design a craftsmanship of this shoe are top notch.It's my favorite shoe right now.
"Vectiv shoes are a game-changer for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts! They offer superior support, stability, and cushioning, making them perfect for tackling tough trails. The comfortable fit and breathable design keep your feet happy all day long. Whether you're summiting a peak or exploring new terrain, Vectiv shoes have got your back (and feet)!"
2s were amazing. These feel cheaper. Raced at the weekend, 15miles 900m ascent, slightly wet in places, sole grip is amazing, cushioning is amazing, feel is amazing but... Toe box too roomy, the entire insoles (both) ended up scrunched up in the front of the shoe. That was not an ideal last 5 miles of racing. Great for flat dry races, not for steep wet races.
I've landed on the Enduris 3 as my go-to trainer after working through a half dozen other brands and being a long time user of a French company with high-stack shoes... I have a high arch, high instep, narrow heel and moderate width forefoot. I like high stack rockered shoes but have never consistently run in a shoe with a plate in it.The Enduris 3 fits really nicely for non-technical trail running, maybe a 70/30 split of road to trail or gravel roads. The upper is fairly loose on me and not insanely supportive so I would be hesitant to take it on really technical trails or lots of downhill with loose scree. This shoe really shines on smooth trails where it feels fast and fun. The rocker is great and doesn't feel in the way but gives a nice amount of spring. ... MoreI've landed on the Enduris 3 as my go-to trainer after working through a half dozen other brands and being a long time user of a French company with high-stack shoes...

This shoe really shines on smooth trails where it feels fast and fun. The rocker is great and doesn't feel in the way but gives a nice amount of spring. Absorption in the midsole feels really good and I haven't felt any fatigue on runs up to 10 miles. Haven't taken them on any ultra distances yet but I don't have major concern about the level of cushioning.Overall love them and looking forward to more miles.
LOVE these shoes! They have a good foot depth, snug from mid-foot around the ankle, and an ample toe box, which holds my foot right where it needs to be without sliding around in the wider toe box. I love the slight "rocker" shape of the bottom and they come with a decent amount of arch support, which isn't the case in most shoes. I have higher arches and almost always require supportive insoles. I could get away without them in this shoe. Plus, the style of these are great and the cushion is just right. Love the colors.
Woah... These are awesome. I run strictly in Altras, but their foam leaves a lot left to be desired. They go flat as a pancake by 200 miles. Outside of that I love the wide toe box to let my toes splay naturally and the low drop that promotes a natural running technique. So when I heard that Zach Miller couldn't blow these out plus the wider D last, I had to try them. I'm used to running in foot shaped shoes so I was worried even with the wider lasts that I'd still feel restricted. I did when trying Hokas. But the Enduris toe box. WOW. Bravo North Face. I compared them to my Altra Outroads and Escalantes and they are somewhere in between. Perfect amount of room for a non foot shape shoe. Upper is great as well. Feels like it's made out of breathable, well ... MoreWoah... These are awesome. I run strictly in Altras, but their foam leaves a lot left to be desired. They go flat as a pancake by 200 miles.

Feels like it's made out of breathable, well constructed materials. The low 6mm drop was attractive too. Feels springy but also doesn't hinder a natural running form. The only negative is the lugs. I would beef those up to 4-5mm.
This shoe was almost perfect for me. It was the real goldilocks of midsoles I'd been searching for in a trail shoe: firm enough to feel stable and trustworthy, but plenty of cushion especially in the heel so I felt comfortable on longer runs and bombing downhills. Unfortunately, the shoe didnt really work for my foot shape. I found no matter how much I cinched down the laces my feet had too much play in the front. It felt like it was more from the height of the upper than the width of the toe box, but either way, on some technical descents my forefoot felt loose and it did not inspire confidence. I decided to return.
