Great fit

a day ago
I bought these in a size 8, right size for me with Arcteryx. I read the reviews about some tightness. I tried them on witha. thin running sock and I felt the tightness (oh no!). I went for a walk and within a few minutes I didnt feel anything but a snug fit, no rubbing at the heel. Without the sock the fit is perfect. Great shoes

Unwearable

a day ago
Heels bleed even after short hikes and different socks. I would not recommend. Support will not repair them but offer 20% of the shoes value if you return them so they can resell them. Disappointed is an understatement.

Great Shoe Terrible Heel

21 days ago
Just like a lot of the other reviews have said, the heel design on these are terrible. It’s been a few months now and they still rub my heel raw. Other than that these are really great shoes. I have been putting duct tape on the back of my heels to protect them from the shoe and then these work great. But for the price of these shoes I shouldn’t have to be doing that.

Excellent light approach shoes

24 days ago
Overall excellent shoes. They climb very well, are light, and after a season of use have held up well even withstanding a decent amount of scree. I was somewhat sceptical of the gaiter, however I’ve come to love it. The fit it provides allows me to wear the shoes untied when switching between climbing shoes and these while cragging and is very convenient. Unlike some, I’ve had minimal discomfort from the shoes and didn’t find them to have a break in period. I’m tempted to stock up, as these are my favourite approach shoes to date.

Hi there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Vertex Alpine Shoe. We're sorry to hear the heel design didn't work for you and that the fit wasn't quite right. These shoes do have a more technical build, which can require a longer break-in period—but we understand that doesn't work for everyone. Feel free to fill out a Product Service Request form and our team will be more than happy to further look into it for you: https://arcteryx.com/pl/en/help/product-service/service-request
