By combining a very lightweight plate that offers good support, a midsole with a rocker geometry and SurfaceCTRL™ traction, our new VECTIV™ technology is designed to optimize energy on the trail. And, with the Exploris shoes, this translates into a hiking model built to go the distance.
This version features the same appreciated details as the original model, but comes with a few innovations. The platform under the foot is now wider to provide increased stability, and the stack height has been increased by 2mm for improved comfort and support. The rocker midsole features a fork at the heel and forefoot, and a TPU plate that enhances lateral mobility and stability.
Developed in consultation with The North Face® athletes, the FUTURELIGHT™ membrane remains as breathable and waterproof as ever, and reinforcements on the heel and forefoot protect you on rocky terrain, while 4mm lugs grip perfectly on uneven ground.
