Great shoes
a month ago
This is one of my favorite pairs of shoes I've ever owned. They're super comfortable and very attractive. My only criticism is that the band around the ankle makes them a bit harder to put on than most other shoes I've owned. Other than that, they're great.

Great looking, Super comfortable!

Mainly using this shoe for everyday activities.
It is very well made and extremely comfortable. I usually wear an 11.5 med, however, I found the half size smaller was a better fit. Really like the detailing, especially the collar around the ankle to prevent dirt and other debris from entering the shoe. I’m not a runner but I can see how this could be a very good trail running shoe. It’s very supportive and the sole has great compression from heel to toe. Originally saw this shoe on the website, took a trip to my local Arcteryx store, tried them on and took them home

From skeptical to WOW
4 months ago
Coming from the Norvan LD3's, I initially did a hard pass when the Sylans were first introduced, because in store they did feel weird and unstable. Fast forward a few months and I decided to go for a pair of Sylan Pro's after reading and watching a few reviews. Im tall and not the lightest runner, and do NOT have the best ankles, but have been trail running with some racing for the past 20 years, and my first run with the SP's was in Squamish BC on very technical trails. All I have to say is WOW! I did find the first few KM's I needed to get used to the rocker and narrow heel, but that was it. After that, I found the Sylan Pro's to be awesome technical trail runners - especially in the current wet and frosty conditions. Hugged the foot and just the right amount of forefoot room that my feet felt relaxed. Outsole gripped to everything, I felt nimble, no heal slippage whatsoever, and I found the rocker super encouraging. I have had a least 10 trail runs on the north shore of Vancouver since then, and they just keep getting better. I did go a half size down from my Norval LD3's to a size 11.5. 11 was too small (toes pressing the end of the shoe).
Q: Size Purchased:

Q: Pros:

game changer....

One of the best shoes i've ever worn. Aggressive and forgiving.
My first run in this shoe was a 250km segment during a 500km effort through the Mojave Desert. It was near impossible for me to roll my ankle in the Sylan, lots of protection.
Aggressive rocker makes bombing downhills very fun and I feel in control.
Currently have 750km on my first pair and they still have some life in them

Performance Day - Hiking
6 months ago
Upon arrival, checked them. The pair was flawless. Then came two days of testing around home. This allowed for a thorough study and feel of limitations, and things to watch for, per several reviews. I secured the lacing of the bottom one third. After desired adjustment, then played with and kept the top two thirds of laces to tighten prior to each Hike. Done. On my first short training Hike, these Sylan Pro proved to be the best Hiking shoes I ever had. The next test will be in demanding Trails, followed by creek crossings, etc. I intend to rotate them with a pair of La Sportiva Ultra Raptors (550 miles), Hoka Goatspeed 5 (500 miles), plus two pairs of Italian Scarpa boots (over 400 mi each), etc... Thanks, Arcteryx.

This is a great shoe for what I'm using it for. Has great cushioning and grip with great ventilation to keep my feet dry from sweat when running along any trails or mountain passes. Also love the hugging cuff around the ankle area which is a definite must to keep out small rocks and debris.

Running? No thanks --> hiking

I've being using them since March '24, so around 6 months now for up to 10 hours daily hikes. Being to Squamish, Whistler, Dolomites, Scotland and French Alps with them. They are light, comfy and I found the grip extremely good even in wet rocks. They also dry fairly quickly. Very happy and I do prefer them compared to NorVan and they have a better grip.

Ankle Annihilation in the wrong terrain
8 months ago
Nice shoe, great for non-technical terrain. If you find yourself running with scree, large loose rocks, roots etc, then beware, the lever arm you've created with this shoe will absolutely roll your ankle into oblivion. I, and all 5 people I know who own these shoes are very experienced runners and all of us have exploded their ankles in them. Super techy trail? Stick with the ld3, hard pack or alpine rock, these are a lovely choice.

Fast and comfortable
9 months ago
My first pair of Sylan Pros have just about reached their end of life after 750 km, about 150 kmk of which were in harsh, Rockies screen and talus. Overall very impressed with the durability of the shoe. Certainly not as suitable for highly technical trails or scrambling, yet they were still my choice for a few recent fast efforts with sections of climbing up to 5.6 and plenty of steep boulder hopping. The rocker took some getting used to, but after the third run they just wanted to go fast and are perfectly suited to racing and flowy trails.

Superbe chaussure de course en montagne

Utilisation en sortie trail mais également en balade, cette paire de chaussure fait parfaitement le job. Un superbe design, une couleur que j'adore ( Solaris) et un amorti incomparable. J'aime beaucoup la forme de la semelle VIBRAM incurvée qui procure un rebond en course.

Great shoes!
10 months ago
Sylan has a lot more rocker compared to other shoes I’ve tried in the past. It definitely took some time to get used to this. I’ll have to be very deliberate about my foot placement during steeper downhill sections. Other than that, I enjoy the sock liner and the great traction from the Vibram outsole.

I have been training for several months with the Sylan Pro and just did a very technical 110km 7000d+ uktra-trail in Corsica. The shoes performed very well, very grippy on the rocks and all kind of terrain. They were comfortable enough for 34 hours of effort (I changed shoes in the middle, the same Sylan, the have dry ones).

Great shoe, runs well
11 months ago
I purchased the Sylan Pro and put several 100 mile on them so far.
They are comfortable and provide lots of toe space. They are a bit high of the ground when in steep tricky terrain. But the main reason I only give them a 4 star rating is the way the sole is constructed. The sole tread stops short of the foam edge and creates a really slippery tread less zone if you are scrambling for footing on side hills or scree slopes where you cant plant the foot flat on the ground.
I hope on future models the tread runs all the way out to create a clean edge. Then it probably deserves a 5 star rating.

The absolute best trail/mountain running shoe
a year ago
These are the BEST trail/mountain running shoe I have ever used! I purchased these as an upgrade to my Norvan LD3's which do not provide enough traction for mountain terrain. The Sylan Pro is exactly what I needed.
The heavy rocker feels a little bit odd the first time you lace them up but have no fear, once you start moving you will not want to stop.
I cannot give high enough praise for these shoes. I am very excited to see that they come up with for next years model.

I bought these shoes about a month ago, and as a former elite runner and having tested the Sylan Pro on different terrains I can say that it is not a shoe at all technical or at all suitable for real mountain terrain, it is a comfortable and reactive shoe, but it is not useful to overcome steep terrain, stony, rugged or 80% trail trails. It only works well on stable and easy ground. A lot of material that is not needed, a lot of height, a lot of width and little precision would be what defines this shoe.
I didn't like it, I hope that with the passing of the kms the foam will be compacted and the ground effect will be greater to be able to control them better.
I have decided to remove the internal insole after 80kms to reduce the height of the foot to the ground and thus feel a little more stability
I've used 5 pairs of Arcteryx Norvan SL 2 with 1,000km each, so I'm familiar with the brand.

I completely disagree. I’ve used these shoes on nearly every trail in Chamonix, where I live, and even on some easier mountaineering routes in the area. In my experience, they perform exceptionally well on rugged terrain and are also suitable for light scrambling.

Everything you hope for and more

Until these, I've always gone for zero drop or more minimalist running shoes. It took me a couple of runs to get used to the rocker and the height of the sole, but now I love them. They are incredibly light and comfortable which is great on longer runs and big days out. They are quick, with great grip on all types of terrain. I spent 2 weeks chasing mountain bikers in Chilé in these, loaded with camera gear running over roots, in sand, over rock and slab and never had to think about them. They make running fun!

Literally this! I have run in 4mm drop trail running shoes more than all other trail running shoes combined and this is by far the only non 4mm drop shoe I've fallen in love with. Love it for running over rock especially and have had success with it covering the very muddy Juan De Fuca Trail on Vancouver island. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or loved one. Please make a stripped down shoe with similar tread for shorter races and runs!

I've been running in LD3s for over a year, they're excellent shoes, the Sylan is a fantastic addition to the lineup. They're especially nice if you're going to be trying to hit steep downhills at speed. This is where they shine, if you don't have long downhill trail sections, the LD3 is all you'll ever need for trail running, but if you do have that kind of terrain on your plate, the Sylan is the right choice

Best Arc’teryx trail running shoe yet
a year ago
Highly recommend for two reasons: (1) The rocker geometry is stable yet effective, including on steep technical terrain; and (2) the midsole is superb, not too hard or too soft. Best Arc’teryx trail-running trainer yet and light enough for longer races.

Sylan Pro Shoe Men's
Athlete-inspired and built for speed, this is the shoe for mountain runners looking to move faster on technical trails. 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.
