Combining an ultra-light yet supportive footplate, midsole rocker geometry and Surface CTRL grip, The North Face VECTIV technology is designed to maximise energy on the trail. And for the Exploris, that translates into hiking boots engineered to go the distance. But while this iteration is loaded with the same great details as the original, the Men'sVectiv Exploris II boots have a few update. The platform below the foot is broader to provide greater stability. The stack height is 2 mm higher for improved comfort and support. And the rockered midsole offers a forked heel and forefoot and a TPU plate for increased lateral displacement and stability. Designed with input from The North Face athletes, the FUTURELIGHT membrane is still as waterproof and breathable as ever. The heels and toes are reinforced for protection on rocky trails and 4mm lugs hold firm on uneven terrain. Made on an updated D-width last that accommodates a broad set of consumer foot shapes.

The shoes feel good on every step, with somewhat a high stacking of midsole giving some comfortable feel toward each step. The only downside is that for a "Mid" height shoes, it's not too high. The shoe reaches only the middle of the ankle, whereas other "mid" height shoes reaches above the ankle, therefore not giving enough support for the ankle

I bought these to replace another worn out similar style mid-hiker and could not be happier. They very light and you feel as if you could walk for ever in them because of the rocker design of the sole and the very good midsole cushioning. I have narrowish feet and these seem to be on the narrow side which works great for me and just having the very top set of eyelets open makes them easy on and off. I liked them so much I bought a pair for my wife. I have an older pair of TNF winter boots in a size 12 and ordered the same size in this style and they fit identical.

These are such great hiking boots. My old ones lasted about 4 years before the tread wore off, so I picked up these new ones and hoping they last just as long. Broke by heal and ankle years ago and these hiking boots work wonders when my family and I are on camping trips. I also wear them all winter long since they are water proof and warm. It's great having dry feet all winter long.

Bought for someone with wide feet. Looked really nice out of the box, well built and light. Unfortunately, the tongue is fixed in place such that couldn't even get a foot inside the show even though it was the right size per the sizing guide. Quick and painless return process, and got Alti-Dollars reimbursed as well - thanks to this good client experience, had the confidence to purchase an alternative pair of shoes from Altitude website.
This is my second pair of these and would certainly recommend them.For a while I had been looking for a sort of cross between a hiking boot and a running shoe as my knees were always sore after a long walk, due to a solid sole on my hiking boot.The sole on this boot absorbs impact well and I haven’t had a knee issue since I got my first pair.
I bought this pair of shoes a couple days ago at mec and am so disappointed. Took them out for my first hike and within an hour the tip of the boot began to peel off and the side also started peeling. Absolutely disappointed in the quality of the shoe.
Quality of the boot is very good. I have used the word boots, but I would hardly describe them as boots, they are more like a trainer. My feet are quite wide, and the boots fit nicely. The ankle support is a little tighter than I'd expect in comparison to other hiking boots I've had in the past. Using a 30% voucher I obtained through North face, I as able to pick up these boots at a reasonable price, less than £90.
These are very comfortable shoes. I've walked a good bit with them and they were great. The issue however is that even though they are only 2 months old they are pretty wornout looking. Both shoes are wearing poorly at the end of the laces part. The plastic front covering is lifting at that point. In terms of waterproofness, yes they started pretting good but are not now great. Just doesn't seem to work in shoes unless they are leather and using wax. Gortex/Futurelight doesn't last long in terms of waterproofness.
