[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome shoe. This is my first trail running shoe from TNF. It is really waterproof and feels very weel, but I will need to test it on hard trail and snow first. I always buy size 10US and with this shoe seems to be larger (personal opinion), probably 9.5 US will be perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome trail running show. It's really water proof In my case was a little larger than I expected. I need to use them on hard trails now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time trying a North Face Trail Running Shoe. I have always been a dedicated fan of TNF when it comes to hiking and winter clothing, so it was a natural choice to also give their footwear a try and I must say, they have aced this as well. Solid construction, rugged good looks and superb performance, especially with the stabilized heel and midfoot, deep grippy lugs and rockered toe for effortless forward momentum!!
Been trail running for 40 years and have owned many shoes, these are awesome! Much lighter than I expected and just the right amount of cushion. Very happy with this purchase and would defiantly recommend them to anyone looking for a excellent trail shoe. As expected, the color hues had no effect on the shoe's performance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate to wear test this style last winter here in Boulder. This shoe is AWESOME for winter running and handling all of the variables be it snow, mud, rain, whatever. The built in cuff works really well for keeping debris out of the shoe on wet trails. These lugs grip on everything. Well done TNF!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive used these to run trails twice now and they are exceptional for foot support. Ive also used them to run on city streets and have been pleasantly surprised with their performance as well. They became so comfortable that I began wearing them in the gym for HIIT workouts as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new favorite trail shoes. They have less drop, and bigger lugs than my Eminus 3. The laces are really nice with bumps that help them stay tied. Will likely order another set of these when I wear out this pair as my go-to trail shoe.
The VECTIVE Infinite line is an incredible trail running shoe. I have owned and worn through 2 pairs of the V1. The V2 is a little more sloppy in the forefoot but still stable. 100% recommend these for all types of trails.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable shoe not sure the best option for full time trail running the durability and traction seems to less than my HOKA speed goats but still a great show so far for mostly road walking and some off trail running
