Very light and comfortable
Warning: Runs small! In most sneakers brands, I am either 6,5 or 7, so I thought 7 would be fine in these shoes, but nope. I went to the store and ended up buying 7.5 and even considered 8. Definitely size up! It is not narrow for my feet, which are neither narrow nor wide, though. I got them in g...

Not the same quality as before
I loved my old Vectiv's that I bought a few years ago, they wore really well. I walked in them everyday, on pavement, dirt trails and in the snow. I used them hiking as well, a 10km day was still feeling pretty good in them! I purchased this new pair in April, started wearing them in May, my first h...

Comments about Women’s VECTIV Fastpack FUTURELIGHT™ Hiking Shoes
I use my Vectiv Fastpack shoes for light hiking and city walks. The rocker sole is comfortable and supportive for an MTP joint with osteoarthritis. The only issue is that the fabric used on the collars is not durable and after 3-4 months of light use the collars have holes in the fabric. None of my other shoes have had this problem. An upgrade in the durability of the fabric would solve the problem and if done, I'd recommend this shoe to others and buy it again.
Second time buying - still pretty good but need breaking in.

Comments about JT0-TNF Black / 6.5
These are lightweight but now lighter than a previous version. They feel the same as before, a bit tight until you wear them enough. I still like the style. They are easy to wear for camping but also look nice enough to wear for sports events where the grass field might be wet.
It is a good product and good value

I tried the shoes a couple of times. They are light and comfortable. Will see if they work well with water resistance.
It's a no for me

I bought these after my husband raved about his pair that he uses for yard work on our large property. We both love how lightweight the shoes are . They keep our feet dry, plus add traction in wet, muddy areas.
Great Lightweight Shoes!

I use these for hiking and for doing yardwork on my acreage property. I love how they keep my feet dry. I also like that I can fit my custom orthotics into the foot bed. These are much less heavy than my other hiking shoes!
I love it

Comments about Women’s VECTIV Fastpack FUTURELIGHT™ Hiking Shoes
I loved my old Vectiv's that I bought a few years ago, they wore really well. I walked in them everyday, on pavement, dirt trails and in the snow. I used them hiking as well, a 10km day was still feeling pretty good in them! I purchased this new pair in April, started wearing them in May, my first hike was in June. I walked maybe 2km a day in them walking my dog around my local trail system. I noticed that in July my feet were starting to hurt, I checked out the shoe and it's completely worn out! The tread is down worse than my old pair and the heel is cracked on either side. Also, the fabric by the foot well is split on each shoe. I don't abuse my shoes and always untie them, so never a stress point slipping in my foot. My old Vectiv's didn't do this and they have way more miles on them. It's extremely disheartening that they didn't really last a season, especially for the cost. If you are looking to replace your old pair of hikers, just beware that the quality isn't the same.
Solid shoe

Comments about Women’s VECTIV Fastpack FUTURELIGHT™ Hiking Shoes
This is my 7th pair of these shoes, and I love how they are great for every day walking and light hikes in the mountains. I have gotten used to the VECTIV rocker in the foot bed, it was bugging me the first time they changed to this technology as I thought it felt to "springy" and "rocker" and it was changing my gait in an awkward way, but my body has adapted after a couple pair. North Face has changed the fabric of this shoe this year and I am not a fan as it gives a bit of a plastic-like fabric effect which doesn't lay flat on the shoe. The fabric wrinkles around the toe box & sides, making this expensive shoe look cheap. I wish North Face would stop trying to "improve" this shoe because it was perfect 5 years ago. However, still a product I will buy again and again because it is a solidly constructed and fitting shoe that is perfect for my constant walking on dirt and gravel trails. (I also wish North Face would respond to long time customer's comments and take our input on design as someone who has worn these shoes for years.)
