Might not be as durable as expected review

It's a workhorse

Many have commented that these What makes The NF Enduris different are great for trail runs of different lengths, from short easy jogs to ultras. However, there were a few mentions of it feeling stiff at first. Make sure to break it in. What's great is that no matter the pace, there's a feeling of the Vectiv Enduris pushing you forward!

Air-Mesh: softer fabric, not as rugged as the Kevlar-infused Matryx upper on the other two shoes

As long as you stay away from technical terrain where stability is more of an issue than the grip, these shoes bite. Neat or loose, dusty or somewhat rocky - the thread pattern seems to be great. 

Vectiv Enduris grips everything!

Especially if you're used to other shoes from North Face which have a high-heel collar that offers almost a sock-like fit there - you might want to use the gaiters. These procure rocks inside easily. You've been warned. 

Heavier runners love the cushioning in Vectiv Enduris

These are stable, sturdy and cushioned. So much so that heavier runners had no complaints and found these to be protective enough - both when it comes to some trail elements like rocks and branches and when it comes to the ground feel. No beaten-up feeling afterward. 

Might not be as durable as expected: max-cushioned "endurer"

Enduris handles just about any distance, be it a daily training session, a hike, or a 100K.

Looks can be deceiving as the shoe is visually similar to its counterparts in the Vectiv lineup. In fact, some features are even identical. Here is what all three shoes have in common:

• Rocker midsole design: creates a rolling sensation and smooth, quick transitions

• Dual-density midsole: gives a balance of responsiveness and protection (firmer on top, softer at the bottom)

• Surface Control rubber with 3.5 mm lugs: highly grippy on a wide range of surfaces; just not that effective in mud

What makes The NF Enduris different

• Most flexible/forgiving plate (TPU plastic): accommodates slower paces better but still stiff enough for an efficient ride. For reference, Flight Vectiv uses carbon fiber (the stiffest and fastest) and Vectiv Infinite uses Pebax (middle-ground but better for tempo)
• More cushioning: higher stack and softer than other Vetciv shoes; better for longer miles
• Air-Mesh: softer fabric, not as rugged as the Kevlar-infused Matryx upper on the other two shoes

Might not be as durable as expected

A handful of runners commented that they wished these lasted longer. Surprisingly, it was not about the outsole and lugs, but the insides (padding). 

It's also a hybrid

While not branded as a hybrid, based on what runners have reported - this shoe delivers both on roads and trails. Of course, focus is on the trails, but you don't have to worry about lugs giving your feet painful distances, they are subtle and/or soft enough to offer a good road-to-trail transition.
