For women, The North Face covers easy trail and long days well: the Altamesa 300 and 500 for most runs, and the Vectiv Enduris 4 for long outings. The Offtrail Ultra handles mountain ground. Two unisex Summit Series shoes do the fast work: the Vectiv Sky 2 for shorter races and the Vectiv Pro 3 for ultras.
