It's 100% recycled polyester upper ensures breathability, while a TPU rock plate and 360-degree randing provide stability. The Vibram Megagrip outsole, featuring 4mm lugs, delivers exceptional grip on rocks and trails. An integrated knit collar keeps debris out, enhancing comfort and style.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Vertex
- Running and Hiking: This Arc'teryx shoe is tough as nails, almost like a boot, but still very light and grippy. On trails, the TPU rock plate and toe cap protect against rocks, and the knit collar prevents stones and the like from entering my shoe. It used to be my go-to for technical runs, but I find the TPU plate to be too stiff, and I end up with sore feet after my run. Now I only hike in these shoes, and they work great in this use case.
