The North Face Vectiv Enduris 4 Trail Running Shoes

The fourth iteration of this classic, propulsive trail shoe, the Vective Enduris 4, helps maximise your energy when tackling tough, changing trails. The shoes feature a 3D dual-dense footplate, midsole rocker geometry, and SurfaceCTRL grip, making them a high-performance trail companion for your next training session or when striving for your next personal best (PB).

Dual Warp Mesh Upper

The upper of the Vectiv Enduris 4 is designed for comfort and performance. It is made from engineered dual-warp mesh with 57% recycled content, creating a highly breathable upper that keeps feet cool without costing the planet. It is lightweight and seamless for chafe-free comfort, and mapped venting zones ensure targeted airflow in key areas. An improved heel fit in this new iteration combines with integrated tongue wings that work in tandem with the traditional lacing system, providing lockdown that has your feet feeling secure.

DREAM Nitrogen-TPU Midsole with VECTIV 3.0 Technology

A full-length ultralight DREAM Nitrogen-TPU midsole provides a high-energy return, reduced weight and increased longevity when compared with standard EVA foams. It is soft, bouncy and responsive, helping you run further and faster using less energy. A VECTIV 3.0 high-performance 3D TPU plate has been integrated for increased forward propulsion and lateral support, and VECTIV 3D forefoot wings enhance stability on varied trail terrain. The rockered midsole geometry has been engineered to create long-lasting forward propulsion, and the midsole of Vectiv Enduris 4 has 2mm more cushioning underfoot than the Vectiv Enduris 3.

SurfaceCTRL Outsole

Designed to be hardwearing and grippy, the Vectiv Enduris 4s have been developed using the signature SurfaceCTRL Rubber Outsole. This bio-based outsole rubber compound has been specially designed to ensure superior traction on both wet and dry surfaces. The outsole provides feet with multi-directional traction on these varied surfaces, withstanding the toughest trails, yet is flexible enough to adapt to multiple terrains for complete control. The durable rubber protects itself from damage and users from losing control. This rubber has been designed to hold firm on uneven terrain, providing complete confidence. It is made with 20% rubber from smallholder farmers committed to agroforestry principles and regenerative agricultural practices. Completing the outsole are 4mm lugs that provide the optimal balance between traction and durability on the trail. The lugs dig deep into wet mud and slippery rocks to ensure added traction and control. This also benefits you by acting as a solid base to push off from when taking a stride and digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
