[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very satisfied with shoes I will recommend for others to by if they need with high arch.

Best hiking and road shoe I've ever worn!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best hiking or road walking shoe I've worn in many years. I did size down 1/2 size, but there's still plenty of toe room. I love the slight rocker sole and highly recommend these!

Supportive and Comfy Trail Runner

Typically I find the top box of the North Face shoes to be too narrow, however, I found these to be very comfortable. I didn’t get any rubbing or hotspots in the toes or heel right out of the box. Only thing I noticed that could be bothersome is the tongue of the shoe is very thin and unpadded which irritated my skin when wearing no show socks. I’d recommend wearing socks that go above the ankle to avoid this.

Very comfortable shoe, felt great on trail
2 years ago
I was skeptical of these shoes at first because of how much cushioning the sole provides. I was worried I would roll my ankle running on the trails. I was pleasantly surprised that they felt great and supportive while out running and walking on trails. They are stylish and comfortable. I would not recommend wearing them for a walk/run on concrete as they are not comfortable for that (I tried). Much more comfortable when worn without socks also, as the tongue is attached and doesn’t leave as much room for socks.

Stand and Poof Arch Support!!

Immediately comfortable once you stand up. If you need good arch support this is the shoe for you.

SO COMFORTABLE

I would recommend this shoe for a narrow foot. If you had wide feet, they would be too tight. They have great arch and lots of cushion support. I like that the side sole is black so it does not look dirty as time goes on. These are supreme quality and I suspect they will last. The best thing about this purchase is that they are on sale which makes them super affordable in today's economy. I wear them for walking long distances. Best purchase ever

comfortable, maybe a little big?
2 years ago
These shoes are super comfy for casual wear (walks, shorter runs), but not my favorite for more technical trail running. The tread is not as aggressive as I would like for the technical southern AZ trails I usually run, but I think would be totally sufficient for less rocky areas. They are also not super cushioned. I ordered a 7.5, my usual size in road and trail running shoes, and they are a tiny bit big but not bad.

It's not the same shoe
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the VECTIV Enimus shoe. I have the exact shoe in lime green and charcoal. I don't have those issues with those. I'm really disappointed. For some reason, these (pink and gray) don't have the heel support that that the other pair has and i need. After suffering from plantar fasciitis for years, having surgery then recovering for almost two years, I can't take that chance again . I would return them if I could

A Review from Me
The Worst Running Shoes I've Ever Purchased
1 year ago
Well, I had high hopes. I thought I got a good deal from REI Outlet. They were almost half off the original listed price. The price seemed so good I bought 3 pairs. Big mistake. I've been a daily runner for years. I get 300 miles out of the tread on just about every shoe I buy. Some a little more. I tried my first pair of these Vectiv Eminus Trail runners on a Monday. First off I wasn't crazy about the faux tongue that made the shoes hard to get into even though I have thin narrow feet. Next, although they looked comfortable and cushioned in the photos, they weren't. Okay, I thought I might end up liking them after a break-in period. Nope. Exactly one week later, that following Monday, I noticed the tread was almost completely worn down. The wear pattern was my typical wear pattern after 300+ miles NOT 21! Crazy!! I've never had any pair of shoes wear like that! Ridiculous.

Wouldn't recommend
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not enough support in the material which is really uncomfortable. Laces too long. Poorly made - a hole appeared in the material within two months. Was sold to me as a well supported walking shoe and only later did I find out it's a running shoe - hence lack of upper feet support. Very difficult to return as I didn't keep the box despite having a receipt and it's a faulty product
