Why We Like the VECTIV Exploris Mid FUTURELIGHT Hiking Boot

To keep a spring in our step from sunup to sundown, we lace up the VECTIV Exploris Mid FUTURELIGHT Hiking Boot from The North Face for our high-mileage treks. The North Face's innovative design provides us with maximal stability while still keeping things light and spry. We don't hesitate over rocky trail with the integrated toe cap and heel overlay protecting us and the ghillie lacing system providing a locked-in fit.

A must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these boots! Tread is wonderful. They are perfectly snug on my feet and stylish. I have received many compliments hiking with these boots. Would buy again in other colors as well!

Sadly, too narrow

Replacing an older pair of NF that are past their time. Reviews say too narrow, I was hoping it wasn't true. Sadly, it is. Can barely get them on without socks

AMAZING HIKING SHOE - hiked through Jordan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great hiking shoes. Kind of propels you forward which took getting used to, but loved it once I did.

Nice boots, but with questionable quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are incredibly lightweight and comfortable hiking boots, that don't look like boots at all. They do have a fore-aft rocking motion which feels very stable and you'll appreciate if you're a fast hiker. As for quality issues - I did have to return my first pair as the eyelet popped out as I was lacing up the boots. Awaiting on a replacement, so we'll see if those hold up. There is a possible issue with the back of the boot rubbing against the ankles, but for me, this was alleviated by careful lacing (looser on the top) and wearing quality socks. I can see how they might not work for everyone. They do have a snug, but true to size fit. If you want extra room for bulky socks or just out of preference, order a half size up. I did not and am happy with them (aside from the eyelet issue).

Perfect shoe for problem feet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really problem feet - Achilles tendonosis, plantar fasciitis & mortons neuroma - so really suffer from heel through to toe. I ordered these shoes as I needed a shoe that was firm enough support, yet comfortable enough for extended wear. After much research, I found a rocker foot shoe in the Vectiv with a higher ankle that doesn't press on my Achilles'. The rocker design, despite it's intention to provide forward propulsion, is actually perfect for me as I now do not actually push off the ball of my foot with an accentuated stretching of my Achilles, but can walk very comfortably just letting the rocker sole do the work. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT SHOES thank you thank you!

Great, but too narrow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoes, does not need breaking period, but toe box is too narrow so it hurt my toes an unfortunately had to return them. I have normal to slightly wide feet.

I love these hiking shoes !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these hiking shoes. They are so lightweight and comfortable yet sturdy. It's like walking on a cloud without feeling any rocks underneath! I never tried them on and went up half a size per reviews and they fit great. I am usually an 8.5 and ordered a size 9. I used them in mud and had to walk through rocks and they were sturdy and durable ! Highly recommend!

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these for the first time just last weekend and hiked 5 miles in them. Without them I'm sure I would've rolled an ankle. They were perfect.
