The North FaceThe North Face Men's VECTIV™ Exploris II Leather Hiking Shoes TNF Black/Vanadis Grey

Men's VECTIV™ Exploris II Leather Hiking Shoes from The North Face are men's hiking shoes that combines an ultra-light yet supportive footplate, midsole rocker geometry and SurfaceCTRL™ grip.

The platform below the foot is broader to provide greater stability. The stack height is 2 mm higher for improved comfort and support. And the rockered midsole offers a forked heel and forefoot and a TPU plate for increased lateral displacement and stability. The FUTURELIGHT™ membrane is still as breathable as ever and the nubuck leather is durable but soft. But even better, we source our leather from Leather Working Group (LWG)–certified tanneries, allowing us to help build a sustainable future with responsible leather.
