Arc’teryx went back to the drawing board to completely reimagine what an approach should be. They balanced the light and fast design of a trail running shoe by optimizing fit and performance and combined it with the stability and grip of a technical shoe. The Vertex Alpine’s sticky Vibram XS Flash 2 outsole is ideal for edging on rocks and provides impressive grip and trail performance, especially in wet conditions. To maximize durability, there is a built-in toe cap and a TPU shank which provides a stiff yet comfortable platform.
To keep dirt and debris out, the Vertex Alpine GTX Shoes have a built-in knit collar which is also very comfortable. With a full Gore-Tex liner, you can be sure that any water and snow are kept at bay while your feet stay dry no matter the conditions. Other features include an integrated carabiner attachment points so you can easily carry them along on a climb when things get vertical and an integrated tongue pocket which helps ensure that your laces will not snag and untie. The new Vertex Alpine GTX Shoes are a versatile adventure shoe for those who want an ideal balance of comfort and performance.
