How I Use the Arc'teryx Acrux TR GTX
This Arc'teryx Boot will always be in my rotation; it's the best boot I've ever owned. It is no longer sold, but I am always looking to pick up a used pair.
Hiking: This boot is built like a tank, offering waterproof protection and ample cushioning, making it an excellent companion for outdoor adventures. I use it for all hiking adventures that require sturdy footwear and take it on snowboarding trips as well. It's been battle-tested in single-digit temps on Northern Michigan terrain, heel-deep in snow, and crossing streams for miles, and my feet remained warm and dry! On long, flat hikes, the design propels me forward with each step, allowing for efficient travel.
I typically travel with one pair of boots, and I appreciate that the material on these cleans up well, so I don't look fresh off the trail on my flight home. When the trail calls for a boot but not a BOOT BOOT, I hike in the Arc'teryx Vertex.
