Our take on the North Face Men's VECTIV Fastpack Mid FUTURELIGHT

The North Face VECTIV Fastpack Mid FUTURELIGHT is a men's mid-cut hiking boot with a waterproof, breathable FUTURELIGHT membrane and a VECTIV midsole that pairs EVA foam with a 3D TPU plate for energy return and stability. A SurfaceCNTRL rubber outsole with 4mm lugs handles wet and dry trail, and a moulded TPU toe cap and mud guard add protection. It is a light, fast day-hiking boot rather than a heavy backpacking model. The latest best price is $68.49 at SportsShoes.com as of October 28, 2026, which matches the highest price seen in that window, so there is no discount history to compare against yet.

Questions and answers

Is the VECTIV Fastpack Mid worth it?
For day hikes and light backpacking in wet weather, yes. It is light, waterproof and stable for the price. If you carry heavy loads or hike scree and mud often, a stiffer boot with deeper lugs is a better fit.
How does it compare with the VECTIV Fastpack Low?
The Mid adds ankle coverage and a higher collar for more support and debris protection. The Low is lighter and cooler for summer trails. Both share the FUTURELIGHT upper and VECTIV midsole.
Is it really waterproof?
Yes. The FUTURELIGHT membrane, gusseted tongue and moulded collar are designed to keep water and dirt out. The waterproofing is built into the upper, so it does not wash off like a spray coating.
What is the drop and fit like?
It uses the VECTIV rockered platform with a flat heel and a fairly standard men's fit. Some owners with wide feet report a snug fit, so try a half size up if you wear thick socks.
What is in the box?
One pair of boots with the stock laces. No insoles beyond the standard footbed and no extras are included.
When is it cheapest?
The lowest daily price recorded is $68.49 at SportsShoes.com as of October 28, 2026, which is also the highest in that window. Watch for end-of-season sales in late summer and fall for better discounts.
