Combining VECTIV technology, an ultra-light yet supportive footplate, rocker geometry EVA midsole and SurfaceCTRL grip, the men's Vectiv Exploris FUTURELIGHT Shoes from The North Face have been designed to maximise your energy on the trail. Additionally, the sustainable FUTURELIGHT membrane is incredibly waterproof and breathable, ensuring feet stay dry and fully ventilated at all times, while OrthoLite X55 footbeds lend cushioning and Cordura ripstop mesh adds durability for day-long wear. The heels and toes are also reinforced for protection on rocky trails, and 4mm lugs hold firm on uneven terrain. What is FUTURELIGHT Unlike conventional membranes, the nano structure of the FUTURELIGHT membrane allows air to pass through for better venting and breathability without sacrificing water-resistance and durability. This nano-fibre structure has enabled The North Face to create its most lightweight, breathable, and sustainable membrane to date. An ultra-thin, nimble membrane that feels just as comfortable and provides the protection needed against the elements in the harshest environments. The production method for FUTURELIGHT also uses less chemicals and water than traditional methods.
