Why We Like The Flight VECTIV Trail Running Shoe

We're ready to stick close to the ultra champions in the front of the pack with the Flight VECTIV Trail Running Shoe giving us extra air beneath our wings. The bomb-proof upper laughs at overreaching thornbushes and provides midfoot stability as we fly over roots and rocks. We take the lead on the ridgeline with the carbon-fiber plate giving us the multidirectional stability we need to keep pace over scree.

Happy feet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really happy with the Flight VECTIV. I took them straight from the box to the trail - dirt, rocks, mud, snow and river crossings. They have held up well and so has my 50+ year old body thanks to their support. Last summer, for the first time, I was plagued by injuries- sprained ankle, plantar fasciitis, tendinitis - and missed a lot of trail time. This summer I was ready to get out again. The Flight VECTIV have been so great I'm thinking of getting a second pair so while one pair dries out, I can can slip on another.

Great hiking/trail running shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of hiking and trail running. Love these! Perfect fit. Light and comfortable. Impressed with the grip.

Need to return

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have ran in carbon fiber plate shoes so I wanted to try a trail version. As far as speed they are snappy. They are light! They feel very secure gripping a technical trail. The overall shoe looks nice, but I just don't not feel like it's a good fit for me. I have ran prob 5 times in them and my knee feels weird. Hopefully i can return. Customer Service dropped my call and I can't get a return email if they will honor the Vectiv test guarantee. I say try them if you can test them. I think it's a good shoe overall. Note they are not waterproof!

Returned them unused.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything on the shoe was super comfy EXCEPT the heel fabric that rubs very badly on my achilles tendon. Returned them unused.

These are awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I went to the chairopractor who told me I needed good shoes for the gym. It took some getting used to with the elastics in the shoe but my back pain was nearly gone after 2 weeks of wearing them. Great color! Super fun! Just wish they had orange too!

Like a cloud!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super cozy, like you're walking on a cloud. They do ride high on the back of your ankle, so prepare for some potential blisters!

I would highly recommend this shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Road shoes are already well into the carbon plate game but this was the only trail shoe I could find with a carbon plate, so I decided to give it a go. I was skeptical because there's little competition out there, but I was pleasantly surprised. The North Face got a few things right in my book: the carbon plate leaves my legs and feet feeling less beat up after long runs, there is plenty of room in the toe box, the shoe is light weight, the "knit" upper makes the shoe fit snug around the top of my foot without feeling stiff, which means no rubbing or hot spots and not a lot of room for dirt and rocks to sneak in. Also I ran right through puddles and mud on my first run and they did not feel water logged afterward. I'm really loving this shoe and wish there was a road version...although I've comfortably worn them on road runs too!

Good first impressions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how light and "breathable" these are. I haven't tried them through water but I think they'd dry really quickly which is great. The "sock" around the ankle is tight a bit hard to get on but then once it's on, there's enough of a gap for me I still get rocks/sand in my shoe. Not a true "sock" type of top but I have skinny ankles too. I'd love a normal tongue/ankle set up. I haven't had trail or road shoes that needed breaking in for awhile (also running in two other brands) but after some one-off initial blisters on my lower achilles I haven't had any issues.

Worth the price. Love it for the trails!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Flight Vectiv hoping to give my legs a "break" during and after my long runs. I am a long distance runner and sometimes I need to de back to back runs. It is difficult to do that second run when my legs are tired from the previous day. The Flight Vectiv are great trail shoes. In addition of being comfortable, the offer lots of support and have great grip for technical trails The most important thing is that they absorb some of the impact that normally would go to my legs and help me feel less sore and tired after my long runs!
