Arc'teryx Shoes: Deals

Where do you plan to run?

• Light trail: Best for well-groomed trails
• Rugged trail: Work on a wide variety of terrain, including technical trails
• Off trail: A more aggressive design protects you on rocky, extremely variable terrain
  

Cushion comes down to “feel” vs. “float”

• Minimal and barefoot cushioning: little to no padding, more ground feel
• Moderate cushioning: more traditional ride
• Maximum cushioning: softest, bounciest ride

Check the heel-to-toe drop

Barefoot and minimalist shoes are very flat with 0-4 mm drop. Moderate and maximalist shoes have higher drop. Choose what you're used to.

Consider the fit

Don't assume you know your size—go to your local REI or running-shoe store to get a fit assessment. Happy running!
