I purchased these for a recent trip to Iceland where we did a good amount of hiking, to include waterfalls and gorges. They worked great! Proved to actually be waterproof, which was extremely important for my use in cold, rainy weather. They were perfect for me, as I did not want to purchase full on hiking boots since I'm not a huge hiker and probably wouldn't wear again. These gave me plenty of support and tread on slippery rocks. My only note is to be sure to wear socks with heel tabs, as I got some nasty blisters when breaking in before my trip. Other than that, they're great!

I bought them for hiking, but took them for a spin walking around NYC for the weeklong vacation. They are comfortable with minimal to no break-in period. I walked in them for over 9-11 miles a day. After the trip, I finally was able to break them in on a 8-mile hike. The soles are grippy with all sorts of terrain, including loose gravel, rocky and wet soil. The shoes held up great when on the descent, without any slipping. I bought the blue-green ones, so I wiped them with wet wipes/paper towel after the hike to make sure I keep them clean after each use. I love them, and I think I prefer these over the boots because they are light and still provided great support.

This is the third pair of these Vectiv Futurelight shoes that I have bought in different colors. These have to be the most comfortable, yet rugged shoes I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. The rocker type sole makes each step feel springy but very grippy and soft. They work well on the gravel and rocky trails around the foothills of Boulder. And even though they are waterproof, they breathe nicely and don't get too hot at all. I wear a womens size 9 and a mens size 7. I bought one of each because I liked the different colors.

Of course, practicality comes first. A hiking shoe has to grip, provide lots of support, be mostly weather proof, and light-weight. This shoe meets all of those. But lets be honest - the gross selection of women's hiking shoes are ugly looking, boxy things you'd only wear in the wilderness. This is not that shoe! While they're not a pair I'd wear out on a daily basis, I wouldn't mind people seeing me in these if I'm on a walk with my dog or adventure on a local hiking trail. Not to mention, they're incredibly comfy. Although, as for any hiking shoes, remember to break them in!
I bought a pair of these in black a while ago and they are so supportive and comfy. So, o got this nice color too. They have that bouncy feeling that makes you feel like you are walking on little springs that propel you forward. They are waterproof but breathable and I've done quite a few hilly and rocky trails with great results. They have incredible grip too. I bought my usual women's size 9 and they fit perfectly. Plus they look really cool!
I absolutely love the North Face brand of products and I have always loved their shoes. I purchased this style back in March. It fit great and was so comfortable, but within 3 months I started to notice my heel was forming a sore. I looked closely and saw that the inside of the shoe had completely come apart, and a piece of bunched up cloth was rubbing on my foot, causing the sore. Knowing the North Face quality is much better than this, I contacted REI and was sent a replacement pair. I was SO disappointed that the second pair ALSO began to come apart. This time it happened on both shoes. This were worn minimally and were very cared for. I never snagged them on anything and no animal dug at them. I am sadly returning these for a full refund at this point. Love ... MoreI absolutely love the North Face brand of products and I have always loved their shoes. I purchased this style back in March.

Love everything about these shoes, except for the fact that for some reason they seem to be poorly made and self-destructed on me, not once, but twice.
Love these for hiking or wearing around a city. Just left Venice Italy and regretted not having them with me. I need their waterproof protection and sturdy support/protection on the wet cobblestones. Were ideal when hiked in Yosemite or on trails closer to home. I wear them a lot, especially in the winter when i wear them instead of sneakers. These shoes are comfortable right out of the box! Wore my first pair out so had to buy new ones. I hope they never stop making these shoes!!
Because of my orthopedic foot surgeon's recommendation to find rocker type sole shoes for my hiking I looked at different brands and felt very confident buying from The North Face because of their great quality products. I love them because each step I take feels springy, soft and grippy. These shoes are lightweight, with great arch support, a roomy toe box and perfect traction which makes them all in all extremely comfortable! I have worn these daily for the past month for hiking and will take them backpacking to Isle Royale later this month, and to my Camino de Santiago in Spain.
I was looking for a good waterproof hiking shoe and the s.a. told me this is very light and super supportive. He said it is a favorite shoe for hiking the Appalachian Traim because of its lightness. I sized up half a size. It was immediately comfortable when I wore it for an urban walk to give it a try out. I'll be wearing these shoes for a safari trip to South Africa. I really like how light these shoes are. The movement of the foot in the walking motion is wonderful, like I'm being propelled forward. And I like that they don't look like hiking shoes. I buy NF clothes and I'm appy to now discover the NF footwear.
Warning: Runs small! In most sneakers brands, I am either 6,5 or 7, so I thought 7 would be fine in these shoes, but nope. I went to the store and ended up buying 7.5 and even considered 8. Definitely size up! It is not narrow for my feet, which are neither narrow nor wide, though.I got them in goblin blue, love the color. Not a huge fan of the design but this looked the best to me among the available designs. Wore them on my way back home since it started to rain a lot; I had training socks without any cushioning on, the left half irritated the back of my ankle and would have probably blistered it if I had to hike in them today, but the front side of the shoes are not too stiff; I think your feet wouldn't hurt after the break-in day.They were waterproof today, ... MoreWarning: Runs small!
