Extremely pleased with the quality and durability of this shoe! Wore it for 8 hours 5 days a week throughout the entire summer while hiking and running in an outdoor environment (which was grassy, rugged, wet, gravelly, etc.) and they performed and held up beautifully. I also ran a race in these and they performed amazingly. The Gore has lasted much longer than I thought and is so breathable!

So glad I switched over to trail runners from hiking boots.. I thought I would try these and glad I've found a match.. I've done lots of alpine hikes 20-27 kms through Strathcona. These shoes have held up through everything.

These shoes are light to wear, highly functional, and effectively waterproof on rainy days. They are the second pair I have bought

This is an outstanding pair of shoes. I've been running in a pair of these for over a year now, ranging from training runs around the neighborhood to 10k - 50k runs here in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. In terms of performance, these have become by go-to pair of shoes for colder, wet conditions that are muddy, slushy, or have snow up to six inches. My best day in these shoes was running a marathon over 20 miles of snow. They were soaked by the end, but my feet were warm and the fit was so good for me I never got a single blister. I have 200 miles on them now and they're still in really good condition. Couldn't ask for more. Small details. The lace garage is excellent, and the flat laces are so much more comfortable and easy to adjust than the Salomon system. I did have to replace the insole to get the right amount of arch support.

I got my first pair of these in Spring 2021 and have owned 4 pairs since! I love the cushion on these shoes - so great for long distances runs, walks, or standing on your feet all day. This shoe has become my 'do everything shoe' from trail runs, to my walking commute, to my work shoe. The shoe tends to run wide but this works really well for me. Can't say enough praise for these!

Bought it few weeks ago, used since day one! I confess I use the not for rock running but for everyday life instead. Love the fit, water stay way out the way and the foam is well cushioning my steps. Then after Arcteryx style, Vibram Rules!!!!

I bought these shoes earlier this year after previously owning the Norvan LD 2's for about a year and a half. I'm a frequent runner and these shoes are not just comfortable but also durable and extremely supportive for me and my footstep placement. Whether out on a trial, asphalt track or pavement roads these shoes will do their part, short and long distance. Thanks Arc'teryx.

These hiking shoes are a game-changer. They're incredibly comfortable with excellent arch support and cushioning, perfect for long hikes. Durability is top-notch, handling rugged terrain effortlessly. Outstanding traction ensures stability, even on steep descents. Waterproofing keeps your feet dry, and they remain breathable. True-to-size fit and customizable lacing offer great ankle support. Their sleek design seamlessly transitions from the trail to casual wear. These hiking shoes are a fantastic choice for hikers of all levels, offering comfort, durability, and style in one package. Highly recommended for outdoor enthusiasts seeking versatility and performance.

I was looking for a stylish hiking shoe that was also waterproof. These shoes fit the bill! They are durable, comfortable, and 100% waterproof as advertised.

I couldn't be more please with these shoes and their performance on and off the trails. I was in need of some new hiking shoes and I prefer trail runners to actual hiking books for their light weight and streamline fit. I knew I was going on a big trek so I opted to try these out as an alternative to my Sportiva hiking boots which, were bulky and wouldn't fit in my travel pack. I had gone on a few hikes with these shoes around the bay taking them on trails and on pavement to break them in before hiking the full 40 miles around the Andes Mountains. These shoes did not disappoint, I was the only person on the trek that didn't develop blisters. They handed well on gravel, rocks, stream crossings, rock hoping, and were also around town and through the airport! They are gortex so my feet didn't get wet and they shoes were still breathable so event through we had long hiking days, my feet weren't that sweaty.

For me, the perfect shoe; they're massively cushioned, which is awesome because a lot of off road shoes minimise the cushioning, they're waterproof, as much as a low top shoe can be, the soles are really well cleated, if I had one criticism it would be that the laces don't stay tied unless you double knot them. I have wide feet and they fit just fine and length I would suggest, is true to size. Super comfortable and so far, holding up well.

I bought these just in time for an Iceland trip. Wore them for a couple days in advance to break the in and off we went. These weathered through snow storms, climbed volcanos and mountains as well as hikes glaciers and didn't slip once, kept my feet dry and were amazingly comfortable the entire time! Highly recommend!

I had a pair of the standard Norvan trail shoes and decided to get a couple more of them but in the GTX version. Love the shoes! They are super comfortable, incredibly durable and a must have for anything from every day use to tackling the trails.

I purchased these about a month ago. Fit is true to size (I'm a size 10.5), and they are very comfortable and lightweight. One minor complaint is the laces tend to come undone unless you tie them very tightly. I live in the Chicago area, where we deal with wet cold winters, so the Gore-tex lining was a key factor in my decision to buy these. One thing to be aware of if you order these online: Your receipt will show your order in a European size -- which is not immediately apparent and caused me to panic as it showed I had ordered a size 10 when in fact I purchased size 10.5. There's small notation lower on the receipt that spells this out, but it's easy to miss.

Bought a month ago! I've got a small volume heel and a wider toe spread, so these felt really accommodating. In my opinion, the Aerios' toe box felt way too large, and the sole wasn't as flexible as I was hoping for. That's why I went with these. Love the springiness of the sole, as well as the Gore-Tex outer.

I have had a few other trail running shoes and these seem very well made by comparison. They are very comfortable and I am looking forward to getting more time in them.

Cold, hot, rain, snow, slush, mud, dry dirt, etc. They endure unlike any shoe I've had since 1990. Other shoes tear at the toe-box seams in 3 months. They hold for 12+ months. Up to 50 miles a week in all conditions.

Been waiting for Teryx to make shoes wide enough for my 4e foot and these fit the bill. They also have incredible stiffness in the sole due to that carbon. Very light and great traction in wet. Very comfortable and easy to slip on and off without unlacing.
