Great video, you’re right very hard to find reviews with actual hiking.
May I ask is this white shoe easy to get dirty when walking on the trials? Thanks!
How confortable are them if I will use them in the city like a pair of normal shoes?
I just bought them but in the "low" style. Can't wait !
What colour?
Im huge tnf fan and im using only summit series and decide to try vectiv mid for all around hiking/city for days when rains or for winter walks to work and city, my first impression is they are fairly light , looks like running shoes not like standard hiking boots ( that is what I like a lot) very comfortable like ultra boost adidas. Great stability. For futurelight I can't say how good is it , my l5 shell keeps the job done but it's not designed for all day on rain or snow just for short amount of time. Vectiv waterproofing capability is good 👍 for not extreme weather if you want 100% protection 24/7 then buy nylon boots 😉. Over all good boots especially when they are with 50% discount. Try to size ! Buy them. For winter hikes im using la sportiva g2 sm or tnf s3k futurelight.
Is it good in snow? I mean in cold weather can I wear it padded with a good insulated socks?
@@amithbk12man no , they are more … spring summer autumn shoes , definitely not for winter , you can wear them in town but , not for cold weather in the mountain.
@@ГеоргиГугов Understood, so I can wear it inside the city not for long walks in the snow. Thanks for your reply
@@amithbk12man yes , they are perfekt for not so cold winter in the town , if you use merino socks they be pretty good.
Any concerns of the white color used in terms of them getting dirty on trails?
I've used them now on three separate occasions. Once while it was dry, once while it was snowy, and then once while it was very muddy. To me I don't really care about something getting dirty as that's kind of the purpose, the white has done a good job at staying decently clean. It is fully waterproof and a very abrasion resistant cordura upper which does a good job at shedding mud. I'd always say if you were worried about it to just spray them down a little bit after every hike and they should be just fine!
On another note, what was that song! Love the riff lol
I know it's pretty early on, but have you been able to get these on any technical terrain or in any kind of scrambling situation? The trail you were on looked pretty tame throughout. Just wondering how they perform when things get a little more dicey.
I have taken them out a few other times so far. One was a decently steep trail with a bunch of Ice/Snow mix and the boots were perfect. I was able to get a very solid lockdown on them which is always important when getting a little dirty. I am actually wearing them as I write this for a snowy/slushy day here in Colorado to get a since of how the waterproofing is! - Trevor
Moving to colorado soon and I was looking for solid hiking boots that don’t look so goofy. These might be it
They definitely look good, and just from the couple wears I do like them a lot.
I want to buy a pair but my size has broken sold out for over a month
Jak wytrzymałe są te buty ? Nie rozklejają się w miejscu klejenia ?
Is it good in the snow? For minus 10 degrees?
Can anyone tell me how this boot is different from the fastback IV?
Would you rock these bad boys with shorts? Or just pants?
That's a good question, I was actually thinking about this the other day and decided to test it out. I think they look pretty clean with pants on but they definitely don't look out of place with shorts. They're low enough on that ankle to not look like some big old backpacking boot so you can definitely wear them with shorts as well! - Trevor
Bout to go hiking Machu picchu, which shoes you think I should get that you’ve reviewed?
Saloman XA pro v8. Very good all around shoe with some awesome stability
Hi from kannur kerala India 🇮🇳
How durable are these?
Just a short thing: I think u mention to often that we have to follow u if we like. Just one time would be enough I think.
Alot of people skip through the video, and you don't have to! Just a suggestion, 👍🏻
How are they now ?
They’re great. I’ve used them on some longer hikes and they have held up well. The rocker is maybe a bit too much for me but quality wise the boot is awesome !
@@rmkvisions tnx for the response
What kind/brand of insole would you recommend?
Currex 100% Runpro for running and trail running, Hikepro for hiking - Trevor
I've tried ordering directly from NF and was successful in adding to cart, payment and finalized the transaction. Then two days later got an email from them saying it had to be canceled because it was out of stock. How long has this Mid version been released to be sold out so quickly?
It has only been out for a couple of weeks and I know North face's site is having issues with keeping them in stock. I did put a couple links in the description to backcountry and a few other places you can get them just in case!
@@rmkvisions thanks! Will try again today. Keep us updated with your pair. Another question: was the break in period good or were they ready out of the box?
Sounds good, they were pretty much ready out of the box. The corridor ripstop material is very lightweight and flexible, everything worked very well right off the bat
Where can I buy the trainer/sneaker version
Are these fully waterproof? I live in a city with highly unpredictable weather and was wondering if these boots are real waterproof? I have heard many north face shoes claim to be waterproof but they are not (especially in wet hiking conditions)
I'm not sure what you mean by fully waterproof but they have a 100% waterproof lining in the fabric which works extremely well. Obviously if you're in water above the boot it's not going to keep it out so - I guess it's not technically fully waterproof but for rain puddles etc this is more than enough I think. - Trevor
@@rmkvisions by fully waterproof, I meant does these work in heavy rain rain? But I think you have replied to my concern already 🙂 thanks!!
Yes heavy rain you should be just fine!
I m gonna buy this..is good for the winter ?
It’s waterproof so somewhat. It’s not insulated however.
@@rmkvisions is not warm enough? I want it for Motorbike all day in winter
I would pair any boot with a nice thick merino wool sock for winter. This will help a ton. If you are looking for a more burley boot I would recommend the Salomon Quest 4 boot. It's my favorite for winter.
Are they warm , what is the temp interval used?
They are not meant for warmth I’d actually say they are fairly breathable.
I have a wide foot, can I try this shoe?
How much does it weigh in US 10?? Thanks
14oz per boot!
I am a size 8.5 my foot is kind of tiny and narrow should i go for an 8.5 or 9 ?
Size 8.5 should work just fine!
@@rmkvisions thanks bro i’m really looking forward to using them !
Hey guys, I'm in kind of an eternal stroggle. Perhaps you could give some advice. I hear you talk about the insole and that there's no support. That basically you need to put your own orthotic in.
But i'm really looking for a brand or shoe lineup for every day use in the summer which already has an increased arch, so that I dont have to wear the orthotics in them. For ease of use, and because the orthotics get quite hot/ are expensive. I have them in my gym shoes now. Theyre also often too high or whatever so the shoes i put m in are not fitting nicely at the heel. Since al midsoles differ in height.
Feet are flat with fallen arches, causing overpronation, but with the orthotics they dont collapse. Theyre always flatter and a bit more pronated than neutral, but It's the best I can do. Reason i'm looking at trail shoes is because there's a lot of people advising on them for flat feet, like brooks adrenalin, hoka one one, or new balance fresh foam lineup . But I can't seem to find info on if these shoes would have a higher and more solid arch in them even without an orthotic. And to work under like jeans and a shirt.
There must be ones that have right? So I don't have to put one in. And have a brand where I can buy shoes without the eternal struggle. The orthotics I have for every day shoes are the half ones, but my toes always get scratchy because after removing the normal insole, theres rough materials there. The materials shoes come with just seem to be nicer when having a sweaty day.
I tried finding a new daily shoe for months now, but it's just not working out, often they look weird and squished in when I stand and put pressure on them, even with orthotic. And my main Nike defender mid shoes don;t have that and look perfectly normal. Lookin at trail shoes because they also look cool and theres ''focus'' on flat feet on some brands
So there's no need to go for a trail shoe just to have more cushion and support. Hoka is a great company along with Brooks. I work at a running store part-time all you need to do is go into your local store and get fitted. The tough part is these shoes don't have arch support as I said in the video there is really no shoe that has a built-in arch again, because everyone's arch is different. Now these shoes have support built into them through the midsole being a highly cushioned and the worthwhile eva/whatever they use compound.
There are also two types of shoes - stability and neutral. Stability shoes would be for if you pronated. There's added support on the interior portion of the shoe to help correct pronation. Neutral shoes are good for if you are a neutral walker or if you supinate.
To summarize - spend money on a good shoe and then spend money on a good insole. Typically the shoes will be from $130 to $150 and a worthwhile insole will be from 40 to $60. I recommend curex insoles as I think they are the best in terms of arch support and weight.
If you overpronate you need to go get a stability shoe that will help a ton. The Hoka horahi or the gaviota would be my suggestions. I hope this all helps - Trevor
@@rmkvisions Thanks for the replies! So even with a stability shoe I can't get away without orthotics at all? I thought after reading a neutral shoe went well by adding orthotics and stability without orthotics. But I guess I misunderstood. Then i'll have to wait til the stores in the Netherlands open again
The only thing really orthotics do is give you arch support pronation can be much more than just an arch issue. It can be ankle angle or weakness and a few other things as well. Having a stability shoe definitely does not mean you don't need to put in an orthotic or insole.
@@rmkvisions A h shit okay got it. I have been focussing a lot on walking correctly so im forcing my feet in the right form also on socks. But after a while you just cant really. Il try it in store with orthotics then :)
What's the point of this video!? You didn't barley test them!
