Coolest and lightest approach/trail hybrid shoe

25 days ago
Love the design, sock like fit and how light these are! A unique shoe for sure. Although they have some conns; After about 10km they started cutting in right below my ankle making it painful to walk, I resolved that with rising my heel by inserting a thicker insole. Another one is the stickiness, someone mentioned they are sticky but for me I thought these are probably the most slippery shoes I've had on in a while. Perhaps the rubber needs some breaking in.

Terrible, painful fit

a month ago
I've been trying to break these shoes in for several weeks, to no avail. The two shoes are shaped differently, and the left shoe is so misshapen it is painful to wear. Look good on here, but absolutely would never buy again.

Poor build quality

2 months ago
This is my second pair of Arcteryx footwear, my first pair were the Aerios 2 FL. This pairs upper split where a crease developed just behind the toe. A replacement could not be supplied so I was refunded and I purchased this model. Unfortunately after just a couple of months infrequent use, the rear pull tab (which is essential to pull this design on, due to the internal sockets style design) just pulled away from the upper breaking it's stitching. I've always been a bit fan of the brand, owning numerous items of clothing and back packs but I think I need to search for an alternative footwear brand.

Further to this issue I was offered alternative replacement goods as opposed to shoes as I had lost confidence in the footwear. I selected 2 merino tops ( equaling the same value of the shoes) as I have always been a happy customer with regards to Arcteryx clothing. This was great I thought. However, I only received one top. When I reported this, I was told I had to wait for a 3 week investigation with the courier. So, not only have I had two pairs of faulty shoes in just a few month's, no I have to wait in order that Arcteryx can ensure the recovery of it's costs before the end customer who has already paid can receive the goods that have already been paid for. This is poor customer service. It is the retailers responsibility to supply the goods that have been ordered.

Great shoe but heel pain due to sock like fit

3 months ago
I wanted to love these shoes…I took them to the Italian Dolomites. For 3 days they were stellar. Grippy on rock, comfortable for long long days hiking/scrambling/running & with some wet snowy conditions…Then they started to tug at my right heel in a way no other shoe has done before. I could no longer wear them- the pain was so limiting. I am hoping to wear them again after the swelling and pain in my heel has gone down, but I am not sure if they will be in the rotation hereafter. This is not due to blisters or blistering pain, but pain at the insertion of my Achilles into my right heel. There is a chance this is due to overuse, however I am accustomed to high mileage and have never experienced this kind of lock into my heel swelling and pain before (used la Sportiva tx guide, Solomon, hoka, altra prior) . I feel the sock like fit is a potential strength but in my case a detriment. I will try them again once my pain leaves

Q: Cons:
A: Sock fit caused heel pain, swelling

Vertex Alpine GTX Shoe Men's

The Vertex Alpine GTX is a complete rethinking of the approach shoe. Balancing the fit and performance of a trail running shoe with the stability required for long days on technical terrain, it’s light, fast, waterproof and combines support and protection with a secure, comfortable ride. A full GORE-TEX liner seals out wet and snow, and the sticky Vibram XS Flash 2 outsole is designed for edging, on-trail performance, and grip in wet and dry conditions. A TPU shank and toe cap add protection, and a knit collar seals out debris.

Updated with a PFCec-Free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
