Chaussure Norvan LD 4 Homme

Der Schuh passt wie angegossen. Bin lange nicht mehr gelaufen und war überrascht wie viel ein guter Schuh ausmacht. Die Verarbeitung wirkt solide und die Ausführung in blau ist echt ein Hingucker. Grössenangabe passt meiner Meinung nach.

Comfy fit, ran well, and love the orange color. Ample support on the inner/outer foot and easy on the toes. Only issue is that heel could use more cushion, especially for a heel striker like myself.

Anyone writing positive reviews of this shoe has not given other trail running shoes from other brands a chance. The tongue is incredibly thick (why?), they don't fit to size, rather disappointing to look at, and what's with the crazy color blocking options? Bring back and build upon the LD2s, the current line feels like they're being designed by people that don't actually run... As someone so heavily invested in your brand for many years, it's time to be ahead of the curve not 3-4 years behind it when it comes to footwear. Every new version is a completely different shoe... still not a "go-to". These feel miles below premium. The soft upper makes my foot feel like it's floating around. Just not it.

I've hiked and ran in these! Super comfortable, lightweight and I love the colour too!

I've run, walked, and hiked, in these shoes on road, crushed limestone gravel, mud, and technical mountain terrain. Overall, I put in about 50 miles in and, compared with the LD3s, these feel like a very different shoe. The toe box is a little roomier, the tongue/sock is redone, and the heel cup feels like it more comfortably hugs my heel. Overall the changes for me feel like a step in the right direction. I prefer a roomier toe box and less of a drop, but the stability and responsiveness of this shoe over rocky terrain is very impressive. The tongue fabric is considerably thinner and I have to pull it up my more where it runs up my ankle to emulate kind of a built in sock, which rubs against my sock/feet, but does not cause any issues. I've had other longer tongues that dig into the skin. This really helps to keep debris out and I feel it hugging my feet. Well done on ensuring this isn't an issue. The lace garage in this tongue is really nice and a bit deeper than the one from LD3 (I didn't measure but it feels deeper). It feels like it really houses my laces much better! Overall a solid job, besides my personal preferences on what I like in a trail running shoe. They do run a little big, so I had to size down a half size from what I normally wear for running shoes.

Estoy un poco decepcionado con estas LD4. No es una mala zapatilla, está bien construida, pero estoy perdiendo lo que me gustaba de las LD3. No es ni de lejos tan rápida, reactiva y divertida como la Sylan. También me gusta tener más espacio para los dedos, como en las LD3 y las Sylan, y en estas se nota menos.

randonnée, marche, on touche à la chaussure parfaite. hyper confortable avant de l'espace a l'avant pied contrairement à la vertex. la conception est fascinante, avec un avant pied hyper bien maintenu, une attaque au bon angle et une semelle qui acroche partout . moins chaude que sa petite soeur en goretex. tellement heureux d'avoir découvert ces chaussures tout terrain très adaptées pour le quotidien ou pour voyager aux 4 coins du mondes

I've put about 25 miles on these shoes and find them to have good ground contact and a comfortable upper. If you are someone who doesn't like the banana shaped shoes like the Sylan, the LD4 might be worth a try. My main gripe with these shoes is that they are too rigid for my running style. I prefer shoes to have a bit more bend to them. Like I said, not a bad shoe! I would just prefer to run in the Sylans. Note: the LD4 run a little big, so I suggest going a half size down from your normal size.

The new Norvan LD4 feels like a completely new model with good features! The Vibram sole is extra sticky and overall feels sturdier than the LD3, which makes them better for running on softer surfaces, aka dirt and grassy trails. These seem to run bigger than previous models, and love the addition of the laces pocket!

The attention to detail and R&D to take the LD up another notch is clear, this isn't just a rebrand of the LD3. I already have over 100km in my first pair of LD4's and they are holding up great, aside from a little mud they look like they just came out of the box. I love the feel of the toe box, a touch roomier than the LD3 but still feels locked in. Tongue wraps the upper foot for a dialled fit and helps to keep debris out. The grip and stability is amazing especially on wet and greasy rocks/roots. Glad to see the lace garage in the tongue made it onto the LD4, remains one of my fave features.

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:)

wow. une superbe chaussures très confortable, avec de la place à l'avant pied, un amorti confortable et une très bonne stabilité. vraiment la chaussure parfaite pour les randonnées quotidiennes. la qualité de construction est extra, et on peu tout a fait glisser une semelle orthopédique dedans en enlevant la semelle fine de fond de chaussure

I’ve been running in the new Norvan LD 4s for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The balance they strike between stability and cushioning is spot on. There’s enough softness underfoot to absorb impact on long runs, but they still feel responsive and snappy when I pick up the pace. It’s like they’ve managed to blend comfort and performance without sacrificing either. One thing I really appreciate is how secure they feel. The fit hugs my feet just right—snug without being tight—so I never worry about slipping around inside the shoe, even on uneven terrain. And the grip? Solid. Whether I’m on dry hardpack or navigating slick, muddy trails, the traction holds up really well. They’ve quickly become my go-to trail shoe for pretty much any condition. If you’re looking for a trail runner that’s versatile, dependable, and built for distance, the LD 4s are definitely worth checking out.

Technical long distance mounting running shoe. I enjoy the creative colors. I got the Soulsonic Fluidity shoes. The built in garage for your laces is clutch. I definitely don't want to be tieing my shoes again once the run has started and I don't want to put some many knots that I can't get them off after a run.

Tested on field (long run training and ultra trail race in alpine environment): the right tool for technical track, good also on scrambling.

Shoes are beautifully constructed, well built, and aesthetically pleasing. Those looking for a light weight and fast shoe will appreciate the LD4. I had to return because shoe lacked stability in the inner heel and caused pronation the previous version did not. If the heel construction is fixed, shoe will be a 5/5. I still love the LD3s but this shoe is different.

Grand Fan de la LD 3 (3 paires en classique et la version Gore Tex) . J'étais inquiet du renouvellement de cette merveille car très déçu par la Sylan (instable pour moi avec trop de rocker). Je suis rassuré. C'est vrai que l'amorti est plus sec mais la 4 est encore plus stable. Le confort est au rendez-vous mais la chaussure nécessite une période break-in de quelques sorties. L'accroche toujours aussi parfaite. Le garage à lacets, c'est pratique et c'est devenu essentiel pour moi. Effectivement, on compte 1/2 taille de plus par rapport à la LD3 mais le serrage est plus efficace et les orteils ont plus de place, notamment en descente. J'ai pu mettre mes semelles ortho dedans sans problème et aucun frottement avec des chaussettes fines. Il me reste 500 kilomètres à courir avec pour me faire un avis définitif mais on est sur une chaussure quasiment parfaite. Petit plus très appréciable : la qualité des matériaux et l'assemblage des éléments. Personne ne soigne la finition comme Arc'teryx. Continuez.

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.

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 🙂

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.

Already have the Black Norvan LD 3 GTX for Fall/Winter which are great! Loving the 4 for Spring/Summer, especially the new canvas/arctic color way. They are lighter and indeed have a wider toe box. Overall, these are awesome!
