Arc'teryx Vertex Speed Low M men's trail running shoes

The Vertex Speed Low Shoe Men's by Arc'teryx is a hybrid design trail running shoe for men, created to combine the performance required for climbing with the efficiency of a mountain running shoe. Ideal for tackling technical ascents at speed, these shoes feature a woven Matryx® upper, a lightweight, breathable, and incredibly abrasion-resistant material, treated without the use of PFAS for a lower environmental impact. 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 outsole 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 during forefoot landing phases. To protect the foot, a TPU film in the forefoot acts as a shield against ground irregularities, 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 on the rock. Weighing in at just 230 grams and with a 7 mm drop, these shoes offer a Precision Fit that wraps the foot like a sock, making them the perfect tool for those looking to move quickly between running and technical climbing passages.
