The North Face Vectiv Enduris 3 Women's Steel Blue - Long-Distance Trail Running Shoes
The premium women's trail running shoe for ultra-distances and technical terrain: the Vectiv Enduris 3 combines VECTIV technology (TPU plate) with a SURFACE CTRL midsole, ideal for 15-100km trails on mixed terrain (rock, mud, roots). Perfect for intermediate-advanced trail runners weighing 50-70kg.
Why choose Vectiv Enduris 3 over Salomon Ultra Glide or Hoka Speedgoat?

- Reinforced ripstop upper - 40% superior tear resistance vs standard mesh, 800+ km durability on technical terrain
- 6mm Drop - natural transition, promotes midfoot strike reducing Achilles tendon stress on descents
- Exceptional price - €99 vs €149 (-34%), best value for money in the premium trail category
