The Arc'Teryx Women's Acrux FL GTX Approach Shoe is a hiking shoe for technical terrain. The clean lines you love from Arc'teryx outerwear has now travelled into a durable performance shoe, built to take you along the trail and to the crag. The liner is non-removable, built with a 2 layer stretch nylon mono-mesh and stretch GORE-TEX® that reaches to the top of the liner for stellar waterproof/breathable protection. The upper is all about strength against the dirt and rocks, with PU coated nylon yarns, TPU high abrasion protection films and a 3D moulded heel and toe cap, all seamlessly constructed together. Under the foot an injected EVA midsole with 14mm drop provides support. A Vibram® Approach with Megagrip compound outsole works hard to steal the show, adding the traction, smearing, and braking you need to get around the mountain trails.
Designed for technical approaches and day hikes with the durability and adaptive fit GORE-TEX liner to make every venture comfortable and well supported
The GORE-TEX liner uses minimal seams and adhesive to secure the membrane, which in doing so maximizes its waterproof and breathable surface area
Keeping the science of the foot in mind these were constructed with durability, breathability, and efficiency for safe traveling in even the harshest of environments
The interior liner is separate, which provides an adaptive fit that allows for incredible breathability and weather protection
The waterproof and breathable membrane extends to the full height of the separately constructed liner which delivers the best in climate control and waterproof-ness. Sorry I just made that word up.
The liner is made from a stretch nylon mono-mesh that will not conform or absorb moisture
Not to keep bragging about the liner, but the liner does not have a tongue, which reduces the build up of heat and pressure on the top of your foot to keep you comfortable
The upper features a non-woven Durable Water Repellent Finish (DWR) microfiber, PU coated nylon yarn, and high abrasion TPU film for the utmost in maintaining air permeability, abrasion resistance, and moisture dispersion. So great.
The outer shell is durable while the inner liner is comfortable, the separation of the two providing awesome quick-drying support
The midsole cushions and supports while also providing superb flexibility, shock absorption, stability, and traction thanks to the injected EVA foam
The seamless one piece upper protects the EVA midsole by sealing it away from punctures, exposure, and pesky abrasion
