Arc'teryx trail lineup

Women’s edition · 6 current shoes

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.
