Sylan Pro 跑鞋 女装

In a nutshell the SYLAN is a faster Norvan Long Distance (LD) 3 shoe. The SYLAN and LD are a similar shoes in many ways, yet different in key area that make the SYLAN a rocket of a trail running shoe. Allow me to explain and compare. My original SYLAN impression was mixed, a bit stiff, little narrower toe box and skeptical on new rocker sole. But after an initial run the SYLAN definitely settled into its grove in a positive way. SYLAN rocker sole is something to get use too that can feel forward rocking variance which is quite different to spring like effect from carbon insert. Outsole fully covers midsole and lug design with tread pattern is quite grippy that’s confidence inspiring. SYLAN midsole multi density foam is well applied, no need for rock plate with stack height and drop are about similar to LD. SYLAN upper is fully synthetic that’s reinforced in key areas with overlays, roomy toe box and protective toe guard similar to LD. SYLAN small heel collar surprisingly keeps out debris. Minimal yet sufficient padding in the heel counter, less than LD. As with the LD the SYLAN also has the shoelace garage. SYLAN durability is better than the LD 1, 2 and 3 or any other trail shoe I’ve used. East and west coast training with racing combined over 600 miles, upper has not rips or tears, outsole has plenty or lug live left. Just replaced insole insert. One negative: Lateral plane instability due to outsole undercut? Not sure why the undercut on the outsole was applied. Suspect for precision foot placement or too cut weight. But the consistent feedback I receive and have experienced is the side-to-side instability. Especially during a heal strike (avoidable or not) the SYLAN tends to feel unstable. I like the outsole undercut at the fore and mid foot, not so much in the heel. Overall, SYLAN is a great addition to the Arc’teryx mountain trail running product line that I tend to reach for more often than not. Also, US sizing is a bit off, recommend following EU model.

I used to just wear road running shoes for trail runs, but these make such a difference. The height keeps you above tripping hazards like roots etc, while the outsole prevents slipping. I like these for warmer weather trail runs in the spring summer when I want something more breathable versus the Goretex version for colder/wetter weather. I normally purchase a size Women’s 8.5 Wide in road running shoes, and these fit great in a size 8.

My size is 7.5, A little bit bigger like 8, but I still wear it with wool socks, it worked perfect during my 5days redwood national park trekking. After the journey, my feet no pain.

Absolutely love the Sylans! Mega-grip is right - these feel so good on rock, especially when scrambling up steep slab. They feel great on tech, are light, and responsive. The thicker cushion provides ultra comfort, while the ride pushes you forward making you feel fast. They initially fit a little bigger than my usual sizing in Arc shoes, but I did not end up downsizing at all for personal preference.

These are my favourite shoes for trail running! The cushion is firm yet supportive and the tread is aggressive enough to handle the trails without taking away from comfort. These shoes are wide, which is perfect for me. I did have to return my first pair and size down. Highly recommend!
