Comfort!

Probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I have only walked in them at this point but it was -20c with snow and the grip the shoes provided was amazing!

Lack of ankle support

4 months ago
Pretty disappointed as I love the Norvan LD3 GTX. These not so much because there's a clear lack of ankle support. Ordered the same size 10 and both my heels are lifting and moving around. Not what you'd expect of a trail running shoe

Hello Matt, thank you for sharing your experience with the Sylan GTX Shoe. We’re sorry to hear that the fit and ankle support did not meet your expectations. Trail running demands a secure fit, and we understand how frustrating heel lift can be. Your feedback is important, and we’ll pass it along to our product team for future enhancements.

Perfect PNW shoes!

4 months ago
Varies slightly from your normal size (we've had both issues men's seem to run slightly small, women's slightly large) but GREAT shoes for the PNW or similar climate - comfortable, gortex, extra rubber and FEATHER weight. Include a special little pocket for your tied laces, to keep them dry/out of the way. Though these shoes are meant for trail running, they work well for everyday...especially in our wet climate. Edgy style and functional. Say good bye to your rubber boots?! Both male and female in our house share the love for these shoes.

I can't fault it

5 months ago
I hesitated for a long while before I bought these- reading that the stitching in the heel was an irritant, the shoe was narrow in the toebox ( I have 101 mm wide in a size uk 9) and that the sole induced ankle-roll. None of this was true for me. Looking at all my other arcteryx footwear, they have been stitching in the heel for years, never felt it!. The platform is ample and if you are used to rough ground, you will no more likely roll in these than a pair of speedgoats. The last is normal, definitely not narrow- and i actually much prefer the less wide fit (toebox) of some, that gives zero feedback and way too much slop, should you go off the path for a bit of easy scrambling. These are perfect for me. As with any goretex shoe, they are too sweaty for me above 10-12oC, otherwise, they are super comfy and breath very well - I wear with both the ultra-thin and midweight arcteryx socks. The sizing is accurate, but the give is less than some, so I cannot swap the insoles for my superfeet- although this so far has not affected my comfort. Maybe it's been a placebo all these years! Over the past month they have performed really well, for excursions up to about 20 miles. They are stiff enough that I will be wearing these on bigger winter mountain days with a pair of snowspikes, or even my petzl hybrids. The ankle gusset-cuff thing does nothing to deter debris coming in, I really do not know it's design intention- so I wear with a mini-gaiter, just like i do with every trail shoe anyway.

Amazing comfort combined with excellent structure! Difficult to find any imperfection, hope they will take me through the years. As concerning the size, I have reiterated the Norval LD, no big difference. Simply beautiful for walking.

Great shoes

5 months ago
The shoes are great. Very comfortable and soft to walk or run in. The rubber is grippy and the little pocket on the shoe tounge to stow away the laces is very practical. I am yet to see how durable they are since I just got them. So far so good.

Wonderful

Was initially leery of rocker styling, but jumped in and love, love, love them! Felt a bit different compared to Norvan LD 3 GTX that I wore all summer, but now don’t notice difference. They are beyond comfortable…don’t hesitate!

Sylan GTX Shoe Men's

This is the GORE-TEX shoe for mountain runners looking to move faster on technical trails – no matter the conditions. The midsole’s rocker geometry drives propulsion and is made from InFuse, a light, highly responsive EVA and Polyolefin composition that provides rebound and absorbs shock. The grippy Vibram Megagrip outsole uses LITEBASE technology to shed weight without sacrificing performance, and aggressive lugs deliver a confident bite. The fit locks tight, and a knit collar seals out debris.

What's been updated: Updated with a PFCec-Free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
