Originally bought this shoe as a trainer...it's now my race shoe as well. I'm now on my 4th pair. The reasons I love this shoe are many: the dream foam is cushy but not unstable, the tpu plate adds some structure and protection, it has just enough rocker, the upper is the right amount of breathable, and the lugs provide solid traction on gravel, mud and rock. I'll continue buying this shoe as long as I can.

I love these shoes. I wore a prevvious version until i wore the treads off. The soles are very soft, wihich makes them very comfortable. But, just like quality sports tires for your car, they wear out faster. The shoe itslef holds up very well;. My last pair got me up and down Tiger's Nest in Bhutan and Lion Rock in Sri Lanka before they were retired. My new pair were tightinitially and broke in within a few days of daily wear. I'll continue buying this line of shoe in the future.

I'm no great trail runner but wear a range of different sports shoes depending on the sport/activity I am doing. First impression is they are supremely comfortable, fit perfectly to my usual UK8.5 size and wide foot. Very light & roll nicely when moving. Always stable due to the width. Nothing to dislike, never want to take them off!

Great shoe for cruising. I think they run a touch small but after ~50 miles they've broken in to the point where I'm no longer wondering if I bought the wrong size. Great cushioning, too. The Dream Foam has held up well after the 100 or so miles I've put on them. I bought these as a replacement for the Brooks Caldera 6. The Vectiv has a better all around lock down on my feet and imo a more premium ride.

I really love the North Face Vectiv enduris 4. I use them for my long runs and they're very responsive, and very comfortable. If you want to use them for slow running is great but if you want to speed up then, they are amazing too. I'm training to run 100 marathons in 7 continents and for me they are the perfect shoe. I do love the brand and this is my honest opinion.

The fit and ride are SO GOOD! The dream foam paired with the rocker is smooth as butter. And the outside is grippy. The upper is supportive and seems to conform to the foot after a few miles. Unfortunately the tips of the wings dig into the sides of my forefoot (and I don't have a particularly wide foot). I did take them on a 20 mile trall run out of the box and love the characteristics I mentioned, but man, those wings hurt.

Seriously - the most comfortable shoes I own and I have owned quite a few for walking and running. Extremely well made and supports are superb. I have people compliment me on my shoes regularly and they always ask me who makes these and why I like them. I tell them I don't 'like them'... I LOVE them.

Tried this enduris on a couple of runs totalling 30km. So far they seem comfortable, soft and stable. I have taken off one star because I'm a bit less certain about the rubber tread in the rain, as a few people have mentioned it loses some traction.

The dream foam is a great upgrade to the Enduris 3. If you liked the Enduris 3 and the old vectiv pro, this shoe is a good combo of the two. A great all around trail shoe, could definitely race in it or just get some easy miles in. Only really complaint would be it's a bit on the heavy side compared to some other super foam shoes, but fine to regular shoes. Fits well like my other TNF shoes, good mid foot lockdown and decent toe box.

I run a lot of ultra, and have been running mostly Hoka Speedgoats over the past few years. This new version of the Vectiv had been getting great reviews, so i thought i'd give it a try. I'm impressed. Super high quality materials, great grip, and lots of room in the mid foot and toe box. The ride that is very comparable to the Speedgoat - comfy, without losing trail sensation. Recommend!

Was excited to try a running shoe from a new brand in the running sene but after running a total of 40 miles in them I found out that their toe box is incredibly narrow and your foot strikes the outer edge of the plate which curls over the side of the shoe. Got plantar fasciitis and had to stop wearing them. Unbelievably terrible for running. Buy trail shoes from any other brand that has a long history of making running shoes and is able to provide proper arch support and a large toe box.

I've had all 4 versions of the Enduris, and this one, for me, is a total miss. The toe box is far too narrow... On the uphills they were ok, but no way would my feet survive on the downs... brought these to Broken Arrow where I unfortunately had to buy a sponsors shoe to have piece of mind on the 23K. Again, I am a huge fan of TNF and just went through a pair of the 300's, wish I would have bought those again... maybe go 1/2 size up from your usual TNF sizing?

Really liked the comfort of the shoe in the midfoot. However, the taper on the toe box was too much and rubbed my big toe. They seem a little small so maybe sizing a half size up would have worked. otherwise they felt amazing.

The fit was un little bit weird. I ordered a size 11. The shoe was too long but the rest fit ok. My big toe was Behind the toe protector. Great construction but feel very not breathable

Absolutely love this shoe, but there is 1 major issue...North Face doesn't make WIDE shoes! Huge miss as this could become the must have trail for EVERYONE

การใช้งาน:นุ่มซับพอร์ตดี คุณภาพ:ดี ดูภายนอกเหมือนจะใหญ่ไป แต่พอลองใส่แล้วก็พอดีแถมมีบีบเล็กน้อยช่วงปลายเท้า(Toe box) ความยาวน่าจะเกินไปนิดมีเหลือประมาณ 1 เซ็น ภาพรวมดีครับใส่นุ่มสีเขียวสวยโดนใจ

No meu caso que tenho é mais largo, a escolha não foi boa. Tênis extremamente estreito, perceptível o tamanho menor. Tive que fazer a troca sim.

J'avais la version précédente, enduris 3, comme dans des chaussons... La nouvelle est plus serrée à l'avant, il faut donc les faire, elle est aussi plus rigide et moins aérée...une chaussure d'entre deux pas aussi rigide que les versions étanches mais plus rigide que la 3.

Positive Mentions

This shoe feels a whole lot livelier and more forgiving Under Foot but it's not so soft or bouncy that you feel like you lose the trail.

This is a trail shoe that runs with energy but retains a good level of control.

There's plenty of cushion for long hauling but some liveliness for a bit of speed as well if you want to up the gears.

Negative Mentions

I got caught in some big rain and the shiny stones of grand Canary's Town Center uh got really slippy and this updated grip struggled a bit on that.
