The North Face Ultra Swift Trail Running Shoes

Tackle technical trails with maximum speed and uncompromised comfort in the Ultra Swift Trail Shoes.

Dynamic Air Mesh Upper

Constructed using an air mesh upper, the North Face Ultra Swift Trail Running Shoes encase each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. An internal arch sleeve has also been used within the upper to provide customisable support whilst the gusseted tongue works to keep out loose rocks and trail debris. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

XTRA/FastFoam Midsole

The midsole of the Ultra Swift Trail Running Shoes have been constructed using two of The North Face's signature midsole compounds. The heel features XtraFoam whilst the forefoot features Fast Foam, both technologies work together to deliver superb energy return, comfort and stability with a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The high rebound midsole works to innuendate shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot; the energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound which gives you an added spring in your step. The lightweight foam is highly responsive and stable to ensure a comfortable and supportive ride. The responsive midsole system ensures comfort and cushioning form the moment you put them on till the moment you take them off. Completing the midsole is an OrthoLite LT Hybrid footbed which works to provide additional comfort creating a comfortable platform underfoot. The footbed also works to wick excess sweat and moisture away from the feet to reduces the risks of unpleasant sweat and odours.

EXTS Outsole System

Designed to be hardwearing and grippy the Ultra Swift Trail Running Shoes have been developed using The North Faces signature EXTS outsole. This durable compound has been specially designed to ensure traction on both wet and dry surfaces. Not only does the outsole work exceptionally well on wet and dry terrain but it also works to ensure multi-directional traction on a wide range of surfaces. The highly durable rubber is strong enough to withstand the toughest trails yet, is flexible enough to adapt on different terrain so you can have complete control. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. The EXTS rubber also features a zonal pattern which allows you to brake with your heel and propel with your forefoot for a more dynamic ride; this increases overall efficiency and allows you to have control over any surface. Completing the outsole are 3mm lugs which provide the optimal balance between traction and durability. The lugs dig deep into wet mud and slippery rocks to ensure added traction and control. This will also benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking a stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
