Love the Norman LD 4!

30 days ago
I love the Norvan LD 4!  I've been using them for about 3 weeks now and the wider toe area adds balance and comfort.  The tread feels solid over muddy west coast trails;  From the beach to the rocks, through mud puddles and over slippery roots they have done it all with ease!   I'm digging how lightweight they are and the tongue pocket to hide the laces is a great touch.  I'm very happy:)

Dialled in fit -light weight

a month ago
I went with the recommended half size down and found the fit to be perfect, Length wise i have a bit of extra room so no toe bashing. The stretch tongue hugs the mid foot without being tight , allowing for quick changes of direction on technical trails without slippage inside the shoe. The build quality is excellent , it makes the shoe look like it would be heavy , but it's far from it . Almost feather light in hand and on foot. The midsole is cushioned but responsive and the Vibram sole needs no further comment. The lace garage adds a touch of class. let's face it, Shoe lace bows spoil the aesthetics of even the best looking shoes. Compared to other high end trail running shoes , this is understated class in design and practicality. Bravo! Arcteryx.

A new shoe

a month ago
For sure the LD4 is a completely new shoe. The sizing is a little bit bigger than LD3, not very much so I am keeping the same size as for LD3 for longer runs and more comfort for my toes downhill. But you should try them on before you buy. The sole is not so much cushioning anymore, I liked the LD3 more that way. The toebox feels a little bit thighter. The LD4 is letting in more air, making my feet colder in zero degrees (C) running-weather but will for sure be better than LD3 in summer. The shoe feels better after a few runs, while LD3 was comfort right out of the box. The grip is the best and you could trust this on everything from ice/snow to slippery rocks. Total 4/5 stars, compared to the LD3. Great shoe but I will keep my old LD3 for comfort days 🙂

Third pair of Norvans

a month ago
45km in and very pleased. Currently running on trails with mixed dirt and ice. Grip is solid and shoe feels very stable yet still plush. The new tongue design fits like a sock around your foot and keeps debris out. I went for the non-GTX version this time around and my feet are still nice and dry.

Solid shoe 🤙

a month ago
As an owner of the LD3s (which I like a great deal) the LD4s definitely feel “faster.” However, the dampening in the heal area seems to fall short of the comfort compared to the LD3s. Your foot feels more secure in the LD4 with the sock-like liner materials. LD4s feel more streamlined and fitted in the toe box area, which is good as long as you don’t have have very wide feet.

Good

a month ago
Shoes are good but not great. Nice snug fit around your foot and great weight and tread. IMO the shoe fell short of its predecessor the Norvan 3. Notably the true to size fit, wider toe box, and overall cushion on the foot made the Norvan 3 a superior shoe. That being said Norvan 4 will do me just fine on the mountain's and trails on Vancouver island

Upgrades to my favorite long distance shoe

a month ago
This shoe's predecessor, the LD3, has been a loyal companion for me across the full range of mountain activities, from 50-mile trail runs to technical outings like Owen Spalding on the Grand Teton. I'm really happy to report that this shoe is an upgrade across the board, retaining the best qualities of the LD3 and changing a few minor things that really elevate the shoe to the perfect mountain companion. This includes the comfier ankle cushioning, better lace garage positioning, more durable and substantial midsole foam, and slightly more technically oriented toe box. Rubber is trustworthy out of the box, and better with a little break-in. I have noticed that the "climbing zone" under the ball of the foot to the toes is slightly more rockered than the LD3, and thus a bit less natural when scrambling, but this tradeoff pays off when putting in long mileage, as the shoe has a more natural stride. One important note: this shoe runs a full half+ size longer than the LD3, so size down a half size for long distance fit and maybe a full size for performance fit, depending on your choice of sock.

LD4 is awesome!

Awesome general trail runner! Huge upgrade in durability from the LD2 and an improvement in fit for me over the LD3. This is my normal use running shoe for around Squamish trails. It sticks well to rocks and roots and can handle all the mud Squamish throws at it. Super light and very durable. Love em!

Send it on the technical trails

a month ago
Fantastic shoe, especially for technical trails. The Norvan LD 4 has amazing traction and sheds mud really well. I really love the design and the attention to detail that Arc'teryx brings to their products like the stretch tongue, the overlays on the lateral side and the wide lug spacing that allows the shoe to grip and shed mud. I'd reach for this shoe for any sort of rocky, rooted, technical trail up to a half marathon (for my preference). The cushion is more than expected for the stack height and overall a really comfortable shoe. This would be a great shoe for hiking and casual wear also since it looks so great.
