The North Face Ultra Endurance II GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes
Take on any trail in these protective shoes, which feature GORE-TEX waterproof technology for dry feet every step of the way. Cushioned and stable, these shoes cover challenging terrain with ease thanks to a Vibram Megagrip outsole.
GORE-TEX Upper
Designed to be lightweight and supportive, The North Face Ultra Endurance II GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes work to keep you cool, dry and comfortable at all times. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. HF-welded-TPU and synthetic overlays also exist on the upper to increase overall structure and support. The overlays support the midfoot whilst also working to resist the effects of wear and tear. As well as this, a gusseted tongue works to keep out loose rocks and trail debris whilst a inject TPU toe cap works to protect the feet against stone bruising. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
Compression Moulded EVA Midsole
A single density platform of EVA resides underfoot for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Generous, soft and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on long distance days. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. Energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. Within the midsole an ESS snake plate works to provide ample forefoot protection by allowing the foot to flex, bend, and contort to changing terrain whilst also delivering rigidity where and when it is still needed. As well as this, Ultra Protect CRADLE heel-stability technology allows you to feel all the cushioning benefits on the midsole whilst also providing much-needed stability in the heel. It works to provide cushioning, stability and an element of rebound allowing you to go further and faster for longer. Completing the midsole is an ortholite footbed which provides long lasting underfoot cushioning so you can go further for longer in complete comfort.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
Constructed using Vibram Megagrip outsole, the Ultra Endurance II GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes provides extreme grip and traction for all surface wear. This high-performance rubber compound gifts you with an unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity and optimal ground adaptability. The Vibram rubber is built for extremely slippery terrain as it can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. Completing the Ultra Endurance are multi-directional lugs which adorn the outsole to provide added traction. The lugs dig into loose debris and wet terrain to ensure confident footing as you tackle awkward ascents and daring descents. For an outsole that will stand up to the test of time choose The North Face Ultra Endurance II GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes.
