Why Choose the Kragg Shoe?
The Arc'teryx Kragg Shoe is a versatile approach-and-recovery hybrid that blends slipper-like comfort with real trail performance. Made from breathable, stretchy Spacermesh upper, it delivers a custom, sock-like fit without laces, while TPU overlays and Vibram rubber protect high-wear zones from taking a beating. The collapsible heel can be stomped down for easy slide-on, elastic gore secures during movement, and a very thick, cushy, bio-based foam insole pampers my feet. It has a Vibram Megagrip outsole that grips a range of surfaces, from gravel to wet rock and mixed terrain. I appreciate the thick rubber covering that protects my toes and the rear pull tab that makes slipping the shoe on easy.
Available in select colorways, this shoe is ideal for cragging, short approaches, belaying, camp, or casual wear. Lightweight, around 320g per shoe, highly breathable, and quick-drying. I bought these shoes to replace my slides and mostly wear them around the house or when I travel. It has a surprisingly roomy fit for my wide feet. This is my first Arc'teryx shoe with the comfort fit feature, and I will buy a half-size larger because it does not run true to size.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Kragg Shoe
- Casual: The shoe’s grippy outsole and protective zones make it ideal for walking around the house or a quick walk to the store. It transitions easily to slide mode, providing comfort without bulk, and the breathable upper helps keep my feet cool. Perfect post-hike relief on the drive home, the plush foam cushions my sore feet, the collapsible heel makes on/off effortless, and odor resistance keeps it fresh since I always wear them without socks. These Arc'teryx shoes are great substitutes for flip-flops, and I just ordered the high-top insulated version to go snowboarding.
