The North Face Vective Infinite W

After being the UTMB® sponsor for many years The North Face hadn’t really managed to break into the trail running shoe market. With The North Face Vective Infinite and the Flight Vectiv (carbon plate), the brand is back in the race with technical and reactive shoes that also cushion and are designed for demanding runners.

 

Our team of female trail runners tested The North Face Vective Infinite W. This is a beautiful product, a very well designed and flattering shoe. It has a thick sole and Matryx mesh. When you pick it up you see how light it is: 255g in size 39.

 

What’s The North Face Vective Infinite W worth on the trails? You immediately discover the Pebax plate and some stiffness that you have to manage; you need a little time to adapt. It’s a pleasant shoe thanks to its well-dosed cushioning. It’s not soft and doesn’t wobble, the shoe stays in a straight line. There is a front and rear rocker that provides a natural gait. The 6mm drop is a perfect height.

 

The North Face Vective Infinite W has small lugs on the sole so the shoe is pretty versatile for many different situations: rolling terrain, single tracks, etc. It doesn’t particularly fair well on very muddy terrain. What’s the advantage to smaller lugs? They never clog up with mud.

 

Your foot is well held in the shoe with precise lacing. The thin flat laces require a double knot. The tongue is flexible and fulfils its job. The area around the ankle could’ve been a better fit to prevent small stones, grass, etc. from getting in. Be careful choosing your size we felt they size larger than average.

 

This The North Face Vective Infinite W is recommended for good level trail runners for training and even long distances. Very smart Matryx mesh manufacturing.
