I am not really into trail running but I do enjoy hiking here and there. I’m a TNF employee and they’ve made us learn a lot about the shoes but reviews like yours really help me get a better feel for what people actually think of them/pros and cons and quirks of the shoe. Appreciate you taking the time to make this. Very informative and useful information

I’ve had these shoes for about 4 months now and love them. Paid retail which is pretty pricey but I feel like they live up to the hype. I live in Boulder, CO in the states and these are great for the dry technical trails we have here. The do grip well on wet rock/roots but mud could be problematic...I’ve been a bit skeptical of the wear, especially on the rubber sole, but so far they’ve held up really well...I weigh about 190 lbs and am pretty hard on my shoes, but these are hanging in there...bought the Flights for racing and these are my every day trail runners...great review!

Totally agree with you on this shoe. I bought a pair on spec as I liked the concept. Amazing uphill, super over rocky terrain and even relatively soft ground. But on mud - nope. Also when it gets wet the ortholite insole holds a lot of water and makes the shoe heavy. But over all I think this is a truly super shoe and I can't wait to put proper miles on it during summer.

Think you raise an important point. Looks much more like a shoe for hard packed American or Alp trails, not one for northern England! Trail/Fell running shoes are the only occasion when I look where they were designed - shoes designed in California promising grip in all conditions do tend to grip in all conditions, so long as they are Californian ones.

@Run4Adventure
@Run4Adventure 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Tim, glad you enjoyed it 😊 Yeap they all have similarities but the top of the range shoe, the flight series is the lightest in the range and it has a Carbon plate in the midsole. The Vectiv Infinite is a little bit heavier and has a Pebax based plate in the midsole. It also has the same Matryx upper as the fight series. The Vectiv Enduris is the heaviest and softest shoe in the range. It doesn't have the Matryx upper the other two shoes have but it does have the Pebax plate in the midsole 👍 Hooe this helps Tim and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

Im more of a trail monster myself but will go onto roads when I get fed up with mud and sliding all over the place ;-) Would love to hear your thoughts on this one then versus say the Hoka Rincon v the Speedgoat v Peregrine? As a mainly road v trail shoe?

It definitely runs well on the road, it's very comfortable in that environment. It's quite hard to do a V's review against a trail shoe and a road shoe because they are both designed for a completely different type of running and have lots of different features.

Thanks very much 😊 The Vectiv Infinite is design to do a similar job to the ATR from Hoka but I personally think it's does everything better! The level of grip from the outsole is better, the Vectiv has a full rubber outsole, so no exposed midfoot. It feels quite a bit more responsive and connected than the ATR. When it comes to cushioning I'd say they are quite similar 🤔 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

It's really hard to say if your orthotics will fit with out seeing your orthotics. If they are made to go in running shoes then they might? Some orthotics are just to wide at the midfoot and they won't fit in! Do you always put orthotics in your trail running shoes? The breathability of the shoe feels really good, I haven't run it in any really hot weather yet but it feels good. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel Rich 🙏

@Run4Adventure

All runners have to pronate to a degree to get through their running cycle. If you mean over-pronate then most trail running shoes are neutral in structure. The trail environment is a lot less aggressive than the hard repetitive road so structure and stability aren't as important 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

Would this shoe be appropriate for hiking too?

@@Run4Adventure thanks for my next shoe, I was looking for something that I can do both regular trail running and occasional hiking in the Peak and Lake Districts. A lot of trail runners and hikers recommend the new Altra lone 5.0 but your review has tempted me to get the North Face shoes. Keep up the great work!

A lot of runners and hikers in the US use the Altra Lone Peak. Just be aware it is a Zero drop shoe, so the heel hight is the same as the forefoot hight, so no heel off set 😊

@@Run4Adventure I heard about this but never used a zero drop shoe. Do you have a video explaining what the issues are with zero drop shoes? I heard that zero drop is more ergonomic and suited to how are feet should be but I am not sure if this is just for advertising purposes?

@@bilaltahir9978 It is meant to be a more natural position to be in but most of us have spent 100's of years in shoes with a heel. It's obviously a personal thing that works for some and not for other. You'd have to take your time getting use to running with a zero drop shoe. You'd be best building up mileage very slowly over a 6 to 8 week period so your body can adapt to the change. If that's not something your interested in then I'd maybe go for a shoe with a heel off set 👍

I'd say this shoe is good on technical terrain say like you get in Europe in summer, anything rocky and it shines. It just can't cope with deep sloppy mud, which, sadly is all we have round my way at the moment!
