The North Face Altamesa 300 V2 Women's Trail Running Shoes

The Altamesa 300 V2 Trail Running Shoes are lightweight, versatile trail shoes for runners of all levels and abilities.

Engineered Mesh Upper

The upper of the Altamesa 300 V2 is crafted from a lightweight engineered mesh, making the shoes highly durable and breathable. Perforations in the upper encourage cool air to circulate through the shoes, while heat escapes, keeping feet cool and comfortable and you focused on the path ahead. The shoes' updated heel collar offers more padding for enhanced comfort and heel lockdown, working with racing laces with serrated edges to find the perfect fit. The serrated edges stop them from coming undone. A lightweight tongue sits comfortably against the foot, with stay-in-place wings integrated into the internal dust liner to keep debris out. A lightweight reinforced toe cap improves durability and prevents injury from sharp objects on the trail. Midfoot webbing reinforcements complete the upper, enhancing durability and keeping the shoes in top condition for longer.

Ultralight EVA Foam Midsole

Providing a soft feel underfoot, the midsole of the shoes uses an ultralight EVA foam. This midsole compound provides high-energy return at a reduced weight while being incredibly durable. This foam instantly absorbs shock as your foot strikes the hard, ever-changing trails, protecting your joints and feet from injury. The energy is used as rebound to propel you into your next step, slowing fatigue and allowing you to run further, faster.

SurfaceCTRL Outsole

Designed to be hardwearing and grippy, The North Face has used a SurfaceCTRL Outsole for the Altamesa 300 V2. This bio-based outsole rubber compound ensures superior traction on both wet and dry surfaces. The rubber provides multi-directional traction on varied surfaces and withstands the toughest trails. The rubber is flexible enough to adapt to multiple terrains for complete control while protecting itself from damage and users from losing control and slipping. The shoes feature a wider base than the previous model, increasing the soles' surface area for increased stability. 4mm chevron lugs provide the optimal balance between traction and durability on the trail. The lugs dig deep into wet mud and slippery rocks, ensuring traction and control. This provides a solid base to push off from, digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
