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.
