Early holiday sales on hiking gear are coming in thick and fast and right now, you can pick up the highly-rated North Face Vectic Taraval hiking shoes for just $48.57 at Dick's Sporting Goods. That's a massive discount of over 60% off the list price for these lightweight, breathable hikers that get an average of 4.5 stars from customers.
I took these shoes out on the trails of Scotland and loved how plush they felt right out of the box, with no breaking in period required before a long hike. With OrthoLite footbeds and a thick rocker sole they felt like they were propelling me forward with each step. Even though they're built for fair weather hikes and not technical terrain, the soles are surprisingly grippy and stable and if you wear them next summer, you'll be amazed at how breathable they are.
