The women's Arc'teryx range is built for the mountains. For most runs and long outings there is the Norvan LD 4. For racing there is the Sylan 2, with a plate. For scrambling and very steep ground there are the two Vertex Speed shoes, and for winter the Norvan 4 Nivalis. A road-to-trail shoe is missing.
