Great shoe!
3 months ago
It's a great shoe, light, snug fit (sock fit) and ideal for treking. The downside, which is a personal preference for me, is having to use two hands to pull on the shoe. Where as before, I've used one or no hands.

Hallo und danke für dein Feedback zum Vertex Alpine GTX. Es freut uns, dass du die Passform des Schuhs super findest. Gleichzeitig tut es uns leid, dass die Vibram Sohle nicht deinen Erwartungen für schneebedeckte Untergründe erfüllt. Obwohl der Vertex Alpine GTX für alpines und wechselndes Gelände konzipiert wurde, wissen wir, wie wichtig der Grip bei winterlichen Bedingungen ist. Wir haben dein Feedback an unser Produktteam weitergeleitet. Wenn du gerne eine persönliche Beratung hättest, kontaktiere uns bitte!

Awesome shoe
3 months ago
Awesome shoe, climbs well but approaches much better than a normal approach shoe. Goretex and built in gaiter work great for snow crossings and keeping dirt out. They do run a bit big and I downsized a half size.

磨脚,脚后跟磨出水泡
3 months ago
作为一名已经拥有30多样始祖鸟的用户,对这双鞋真的很失望,今天出门第一次穿,就想磨合一下新鞋,走了3km,脚后跟就磨红了,起了一点水泡,赶紧打车回来. 之前买过 aerios 中邦gtx版,和vertex越野跑都很好, 这次真的太失望了. 研究了一下,主要是鞋内右后跟部位的凸出部分磨脚后跟

They do well at what they're designed to do.

One of the most comfortable hiking / climbing / scrambling approach shoes I've ever worn. Waterproof. Dust and gravel proof with the sock like gaiter. Sticky rubber. It is a snug fit, however. If you've never worn snug / tight rock climbing shoes or you're not used to that snug fit, then these aren't the shoes for you. These shoes are supposed to be a bit tighter for maximum feel underfoot when scrambling, and they do that great.

Coolest and lightest approach/trail hybrid shoe
4 months 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

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
6 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
7 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
