Men's The North Face Trainers
Men's North Face trainers occupy the crossover between trail-performance and lifestyle footwear — rugged enough for light trail and outdoor use, but with the clean proportions and colourways that work for everyday wear.

Are North Face trainers suitable for trail running?
North Face trainers at OD's are primarily lifestyle-trail crossovers rather than dedicated road or trail running shoes. They have the grip and durability for light trail, hiking and outdoor use, but are not performance running shoes in the technical sense. For dedicated trail running performance, the Salomon range is the recommended alternative.
How do North Face trainers fit?
Men's North Face trainers run true to standard UK sizing. Lifestyle styles have a standard athletic-shoe last that suits most foot shapes without adjustment. Trail-influenced styles with mesh uppers may have a slightly narrower forefoot than casual styles — if you have a wider foot, sizing up half a size is worth considering.
Are North Face trainers waterproof?
Most North Face trainer styles are water-resistant through DWR-treated uppers or sealed construction, but not fully waterproof for stream crossings or prolonged rain. GORE-TEX® versions are available on select styles and provide genuine waterproofing. Check individual product pages for waterproof ratings specific to each style.
What makes North Face trainers different from standard lifestyle trainers?
The key differences are outsole grip and upper durability. North Face trainers use rubber compounds and lug patterns designed for varied terrain rather than pure street use — providing significantly better traction on wet surfaces, grass and light trail. The overall aesthetic retains a clean trainer silhouette that suits casual daily wear.
Vectiv Taraval or Altamesa — which TNF trainer to pick?
Vectiv Taraval (£34.50) is the hiking-focused mid-cut shoe — Surface Control rubber outsole, supportive midsole, suits day hiking and approach walks. Altamesa 300/500 (£115–£125) is the trail-running pick — lighter, faster, more responsive. Pick Taraval for hiking with light pack, Altamesa for active running and trail moves.
Are The North Face trainers waterproof?
Some Vectiv and Altamesa models are available in waterproof Futurelight™ membrane versions (look for 'FUTURELIGHT' or 'WATERPROOF' in the product name). Standard versions are water-resistant only. Check each product page for the membrane confirmation.
What sizes do TNF mens trainers come in?
UK 7–13 across most styles at OD's. The Vectiv range runs true to size; Altamesa trail trainers run slightly large — consider taking a half-size smaller. Helen on 01744 730985 will check exact internal length on any pair before you order.
