The North Face Vectiv Exploris II, what are its innovations and strengths?

The Vectiv Exploris II, a hiking shoe from The North Face, has 100% of the leather used in the shoe that comes from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG). This shows the brand's commitment to a sustainable future through the use of leather manufactured using responsible practices.

The North Face Vectiv Exploris II features a waterproof Futureligh membrane upper that creates an impenetrable barrier against rain and snow to keep feet insulated and dry in all weather conditions without compromising breathability.

The North Face Vectiv Exploris II is made on an updated D-width last, which means it fits a wide variety of foot contours seamlessly in both men's and women's versions. Finally, the shoe's upper features a protective toe and ankle guard to prevent bruising.

The outsole of The North Face Vectiv Exploris II consists of Surface CTRL rubber made with bio-composite for superior traction, with reinforcements in the areas of greatest contact with the surface to ensure durability that is more than necessary in all hiking shoes.
