The North Face VECTIV trail running shoes

VECTIV is The North Face's trail running platform, designed to save energy and roll you forward over long, rough miles.

Rocker geometry rolls you forward

A curved, rockered sole smooths the transition from landing to toe-off, encouraging an efficient stride over technical ground.

A plate adds propulsion and protection

A stabilising plate in the midsole returns energy for a snappier ride and shields the foot from sharp rocks and roots underfoot.

Grip for technical trails

Aggressive, grippy outsoles dig into mud, rock and loose ground, giving traction on the climbs and descents of Irish trails.

The Enduris and Summit Vectiv Pro

The Vectiv Enduris is the cushioned everyday trail shoe, while the Summit Vectiv Pro is the lighter, race-focused model. Both carry the VECTIV ride.

Frequently asked questions

What is VECTIV?

VECTIV is The North Face's trail running platform. It combines a rockered sole with a stabilising plate to create an efficient, forward-rolling ride that saves energy over long, rough miles.

What is the difference between the Vectiv Enduris and Summit Vectiv Pro?

The Vectiv Enduris is the cushioned, everyday trail shoe built for training and long runs. The Summit Vectiv Pro is lighter and race-focused with a more aggressive plate. Both share the VECTIV rocker ride.

Are The North Face trail shoes good for Irish trails?

Yes. Their grippy outsoles handle the mud, grass and rock of Irish trails, and the VECTIV ride helps on long, rough routes. Check each product page for whether a model is waterproof.

Can I run on roads in trail running shoes?

You can cover short sections of road to link up trails, but the aggressive lugs wear faster on tarmac and feel firm underfoot, so they are not the best choice for mostly-road runs. If your route is more road than trail, a road shoe suits better. Keep trail shoes for the soft, rough and muddy ground they are built for.

Can I collect orders in store?

Yes, choose Click & Collect at checkout. Orders are usually ready within 24 hours and you will get an email when ready. Available from our Dublin Carrickmines, Dublin Blanchardstown and Cork City Centre stores.
