This souped-up racer has a comfortably snug fit and grippy, go-fast sole.
The top-end racer gets an upper made with Matryx—a Kevlar and polyamide weave—which is durable and creates a locked-down fit. It’s the same stuff found in, which I wore for 80 miles of the Tor des Géants 220-mile race, and also withstood a winter on Pennsylvania’s rocky, icy trails. The rest of the upper is a breathable knit that’s snug in the midfoot and heel but didn’t cause me any hot spots.
While it’s definitely a narrow fit that’s not for everybody—it feels more snug in the midfoot and heel than the S/Lab Ultra 3—it’s incredibly comfortable and there are no noticeable hot spots. Up front, it’s roomier, allowing your toes to spread out, giving you a stable platform as your roll forward. That knit upper, however, doesn’t provide quite enough protection for exceptionally technical, mountainous trails. But, for anything that you’d run at “race pace,” it’s perfectly adequate.
The outsole is capped with The North Face’s Surface Control rubber compound, which has impressed me on snow-dusted rocks and trails. The 3.5mm lugs are a little shallow for sloppy mud, but the stickiness of the rubber makes up for it on most terrain.Bottom Line: Is the hyped-up Vectiv the right shoe for you on the trails? If you're seeking a responsive shoe that speeds along moderately technical singletrack, then this shoe excels.
