The North Face Litewave FUTURELIGHT Waterproof Women's Walking Shoes
The Litewave FUTURELIGHT Shoes are engineered for tackling rough terrain at speed, that's why they harness breathable FUTURELIGHT technology for the membrane and have gone all trainer-like in terms of weight.
Abrasion Resistant Mesh Upper
The upper of the Litewave FUTURELIGHT Shoes are made from abrasive-resistant performance mesh materials, to provide feet with the perfect level of breathability. This mesh is covered in micro-perforations which allow heat and vapour to escape whilst simultaneously allowing fresh air to flow in for a pleasant cooling sensation. The flexible mesh moves with your foot, allowing for ultimate comfort and responsiveness. The uppers are complemented with FUTURELIGHT technology, a breathable and waterproof membrane, to keep you feeling as comfortable as possible in wet weather. This means that feet stay dry from rainy conditions and protected from moisture, both inside and out, keeping you fresh and focused on the journey ahead. The shoes also feature a protective moulded TPU toe cap for keeping feet protected against knocks, bumps and grazes. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system, allowing you to get a secure and comfortable fit, whilst also preventing in-shoe slippage.
EVA Midsole
Designed to maximise energy on the trails, the midsole has been constructed using EVA cushioning. The midsole system works to provide runners with optimal cushioning with every step whilst providing more energy return by reducing fatigue and helping them prepare for the next toe-off whilst minimising energy loss, increases propulsion and delivers an abundance of structural support making running feel effortless and giving you the confidence to reach new PBs. An Ortholite Hybrid footbed provides additional comfort that remains lightweight and breathable and is made from 5% recycled rubber content.
Rubber Outsole
Designed to be hardwearing and grippy these walking shoes have been developed using Rubber Outsole. This durable compound has been specially designed to ensure traction on both wet and dry surfaces. Not only does the outsole work exceptionally well on wet and dry terrain but it also works to ensure multi-directional traction on a wide range of surfaces. The highly durable rubber is strong enough to withstand the toughest trails yet, is flexible enough to adapt to different terrain so you can have complete control. Completing the outsole are 4mm lugs that provide a great balance between traction and durability on the trail. The lugs dig deep into wet mud and slippery rocks to ensure added traction and control. This will also benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking a stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking and changing direction.
