Customer Reviews The North Face Vectiv Escape

I wear doctor-made orthotics in all of my shoes and never have had any issues. I have no issues with other TNF shoes too. But this shoe has an extra heel pad. And that heel pad, with the slight lift from the orthotic, is totally misplaced. It doesn't lock my heel in and just creates a point of rubbing. I gave the shoes three stars because they seem to fit properly and comfortably with the orthotic removed, but I can't actually wear them that way.

Bought these for hiking/walking as a replacement for some Merrils...they felt so good and supportive that I ended up wearing them as my daily shoes. I guess these are not built for everyday wear as the tread is gone in under 5 months of. I guess if you use them solely for hiking, perhaps they will last longer. Would like to find the same typ of shoe and support but with a longer lasting tread.

I got these after getting the Vectiv Taraval model. I figured the midsole and fit would be similar. It's not. These aren't as cushioned! And they don't hold my feet as securely. Plus I really can't feel the rocker on these like on the Taraval. They are nice looking and seem well put together for urban walking.

Treads wore out in the middle in less than 5 months. Usually a north face fan, this is my first bad experience with their shoes. Ankle support is minimal. Would not recommend.

They were good for the first few times I wore them then they slowly lost all support and feel like I am wearing wet noodles on my feet. The roll my ankle on every little thing on the trail. I have pair of Exploris and they are fantastic and not at all like these model.

good for only 3 months max , very low quality .
