I have a slightly wider toe box than most people so some of Arcteryx's shoes haven't fit as well. These have a slightly wider toe box and they fit me perfect. I love the style too. They feel very grippy as I hike due to the aggressive tread. Note that they run large when compared to other Arc shoes. I ordered a half size smaller than other Arc shoes and they fit perfectly.

Love the new fit and colors. Added the white to my collection and they are really nice. I must say, I primarily wear them as work shoes to the office, but love the fit and light weight. The new Aerios 2 do have more room, in the toe box, then the old version. I have narrow feet, but even at that, had to use thin wool socks. These will accommodate thicker socks and are very comfy. Big improvement in overall fit. Everything about these is top-notch. (Although I wish they had a lace pouch like the Norman).

These shoes look way better than on the photo. Very comfortable with a great Vibram sole and Gore-Tex fabric. I like the mid model, first time for me. Fits true to my regular sizing.

I bought this shoe specifically for delivering the mail. They are comfy, stylish in the navy blue, and they keep my feet dry in the rain.

Fit so well. Great lateral support. Enough cushion and flex. Very elegant, can be worn with a classic non technical skirt or pants. Beautiful.

Super light, with lasting soles - bought 2 pairs and they've been worn daily and cope with all terrains.
Tread is just going on the heels after 9 months but more than happy with the longevity.
Just purchased another pair!

I bought this pair and hiked Acadia National Park, some very challenging terrain. I bought them half size larger than I usually do and did not wear them in before some serious hiking. They felt right for my feet and had no blisters. I am extremely impressed with the shoes, comfortable and fantastic grip. Best pair I have owned.

Had been running around town through winters with an old school heavy classic mid-height leather boot for 20+ years and am very happy I modernized. These are comfortable and will be perfect for sludging around Wisconsin when the runners and flip flops go on the rack. I consider these a good boot compromise for me with the extra bit of height, Gore-Tex, and Vibram (soles are nice and grippy) which are all perfect for handling the elements. Another review that noted this new style may be a bit more forgiving on width was also a selling point for me and I find it to be true. These are really light, fit really nice for me, look really good and have really great technical materials, so I am really satisfied with these for my winter all arounders. Will also pull off the rack year round when needed.

Bought these for biking, hiking, backcountry camping and took on a rainy 3day canoe camping trip. They performed great! Good grip, socks stayed dry, etc. I'd say they don't breathe too well if you're indoors wearing merino socks but outside they're awesome. I also find the soles very stiff for long wear.

I'm coming from other vendors I used beofre and decided to give these shoes a try, taking into consideration so many reviews on YT. Well... as usual, reviews on YT are copy/paste of each other and they keep talking about features shoes have that you can read in the description on the web site. No need for watching the same for 10min on YT.
Now about the experience. I order Aerios FL 2 Mid GTX Black and I like them. The quality looks awesome. And they are super light which helps with lot of walking. But... I had issues with the right shoe. Like a hole in the heel. After 5min walking you feel pain in the heel and in the leg below the knee. Opened the ticket, sent the shoes back to the store and they identified the issue. I don't know why there are 2 positions on the web site, but well... I found "colored" shoes have more reviews and I decided to go with Dark Sapphire.
Well... I found them slightly different than Black. Black are more roomy (if we can say that) while Dark Sapphire is more snug. And that for the same size. The heel issue I had with Black is less pronounced in Dark Sapphire, but is there... still. When I'm walking I feel difference in both heels and the sound when I'm stepping is different on both shoes. One sounds like I have flip-flop on one of my foot.
I like these shoes. The quality looks to be great. The only frustrating issue is the heel. It's either bad batch I don't know what to do in this case as I need shoes for this weather instead of sending them back again, or it's production/design issue. :\

I love these shoes for hiking and climbing approaches. They are light weight and rugged which is difficult to find in one shoe.

I tried these shoes on in the store and felt that they were a little uncomfortable and that I felt unstable. Later that day I bought them online anyways because I they looked so good and I have to say I have no idea what changed but these shoes are SUPER comfortable and lightweight. Wore them for the first time on a 7hr hike at Harrison Grind through the rain and snow. My feet stayed dry and the grip/balance was phenomenal.
Sizing: I bought a size 9. I wear size 9 for most other shoe brands (Nike, NB, Adidas)

I had two pairs of hiking shoes of an older model very similar to this shoe. I love them. After years of use, one of those pairs sent me up to Mt Fuji. The soles on both pairs still don't show noticeable wear and tear, very sturdy. I bought this pair for daily walks in bad weather. They felt like my old shoes but the toe box is roomier and the size runs large, at least for women's sizes. My old pairs are 7.5 but now 7 fits me. I think it should work for me in the long run, but didn't keep the shoes because I later discovered "NORVAN LD 3 GTX" which fits my casual need better.

My job takes me both inside and out and I wanted footwear that I don't have to switch out. These gortex hikers are perfect for that. Comfy and dry no matter what the weather.

Straight out of the box and on for a muddy trek along the South Devon Coast path.
I was worried they might be a little too narrow based on some reviews but all was good.
Grippy over granite steps, supportive up steep wet and slippy inclines/declines, light and comfortable
Not too hot when the sun came out 6 miles in - feet could breathe and totally water tight during the final 2 miles back to the car through some heavy rain.
No discomfort, no blisters after 9 miles. No need to break these boots in!
Smart, minimalist boots fashionable enough to wear during a 3 day trip to Prague this week. Coped with lots of cobbles, warm autumn weather of 20C and a rainy last day. Again, no discomfort, no blisters and dry feet after approx 22 miles visiting the attractions. Also smart enough to wear to restaurants/cafes.
Fantastic all rounder!

It was love at first sight and at first touch. I felt and feel amazing, free and so light!
BUT it is hard to keep them white and not ruin them when cleaning.

I got these at the outlet site. When I first put them on, I was worried they are too light. I prefer a moderately robust-feeling shoe like the Konseal.
After some walking and BMX biking, I like these more and more. They are durable and comfortable, surprisingly supportive
