Comments about Women’s VECTIV™ Fastpack FUTURELIGHT™ Hiking Shoes
I actually bought these from go outdoors because I could try them on :) I wasn't sure what to expect but they were comfy and said they were waterproof which fitted the bill for dog walking. I've just clocked 400k on strava and they are so comfortable and light. The fabric is still intact and I've never experienced wet feet even when on the beach/sea, long wet grass or torrential rain. The tread is starting to wear now but I think that's allowed when I've done probably 400+ kilometres. I also wear them for agility training. Great shoe!

I use my Vectiv Fastpack shoes for light hiking and city walks. The rocker sole is comfortable and supportive for an MTP joint with osteoarthritis. The only issue is that the fabric used on the collars is not durable and after 3-4 months of light use the collars have holes in the fabric. None of my other shoes have had this problem. An upgrade in the durability of the fabric would solve the problem and if done, I'd recommend this shoe to others and buy it again.

Not comfortable and ran small for sizing. Had to return.

I bought these after my husband raved about his pair that he uses for yard work on our large property. We both love how lightweight the shoes are . They keep our feet dry, plus add traction in wet, muddy areas.

I loved my old Vectiv's that I bought a few years ago, they wore really well. I walked in them everyday, on pavement, dirt trails and in the snow. I used them hiking as well, a 10km day was still feeling pretty good in them! I purchased this new pair in April, started wearing them in May, my first hike was in June. I walked maybe 2km a day in them walking my dog around my local trail system. I noticed that in July my feet were starting to hurt, I checked out the shoe and it's completely worn out! The tread is down worse than my old pair and the heel is cracked on either side. Also, the fabric by the foot well is split on each shoe. I don't abuse my shoes and always untie them, so never a stress point slipping in my foot. My old Vectiv's didn't do this and they have way more miles on them. It's extremely disheartening that they didn't really last a season, especially for the cost. If you are looking to replace your old pair of hikers, just beware that the quality isn't the same.

This is my 7th pair of these shoes, and I love how they are great for every day walking and light hikes in the mountains. I have gotten used to the VECTIV rocker in the foot bed, it was bugging me the first time they changed to this technology as I thought it felt to "springy" and "rocker" and it was changing my gait in an awkward way, but my body has adapted after a couple pair. North Face has changed the fabric of this shoe this year and I am not a fan as it gives a bit of a plastic-like fabric effect which doesn't lay flat on the shoe. The fabric wrinkles around the toe box & sides, making this expensive shoe look cheap. I wish North Face would stop trying to "improve" this shoe because it was perfect 5 years ago. However, still a product I will buy again and again because it is a solidly constructed and fitting shoe that is perfect for my constant walking on dirt and gravel trails. (I also wish North Face would respond to long time customer's comments and take our input on design as someone who has worn these shoes for years.)

I have arthritis in the long bones of my right foot and these shoes are very comfortable, offer a wide toe box, and the rocker style helps ease arthritis foot pain when walking. For comfort I would rate them a 5. However, for tread durability I would rate them a 3 or less. When I use them for walking it's typically a 3.5 mile walk (on pavement or concrete) daily. The heel tread on these shoes shows severe wear after just 3 months which is crazy for shoes that are this expensive. I've never had shoe treads wear out so quickly. If these shoes weren't so comfortable for my arthritic foot, I wouldn't buy them. For now, I just look for sales on the shoes.

Very comfortable and also pretty cool. I appreciate the amount of support it provides for my foot and the way my foot sits in this shoe. I have a relatively narrow foot and often find my feet sliding around inside hiking shoes - but these are great. Will definitely get lots of use out of them too, because they are super sturdy.
