Arc'teryx Vertex Speed Low W women's trail running shoes

The Vertex Speed Low Shoe Women's by Arc'teryx is a women's trail running shoe with a hybrid design, created to combine the specific needs of climbing with the efficiency of a trail running shoe. Ideal for tackling technical ascents at speed, this model features a Matryx® woven upper, an extremely lightweight, breathable, and abrasion-resistant material made without the use of PFAS. The structure utilizes a mapped dual-density midsole that combines softer cushioning at the heel for comfort during running and a firmer support in the forefoot for superior stability on rocky terrain. The Vibram® Megagrip sole with LITEBASE technology drastically reduces overall weight while ensuring exceptional grip, thanks to a zonal lug pattern designed to provide traction on soft trails and maximum adherence on rocky surfaces. To protect the foot, a TPU film in the forefoot acts as a shield against roughness, while the low-profile elastic mesh collar seals the fit, preventing debris from entering. The integrated lacing system, equipped with a handy pocket on the tongue for storing the laces, ensures a secure closure that avoids annoying snags. Weighing only 200 grams and with a 7 mm drop, this shoe offers a Precision Fit that wraps the female anatomy like a sock, making it the perfect tool for those who wish to move quickly between running and technical passages at altitude.
