a versatile shoe providing comfort and confidence during technical approaches on difficult terrain, the acrux sl leverages arc’teryx footwear technologies for optimal fit, agility and traction, then streamlines them for exceptionally lightweight performance. the adaptive fit lite design uses zonal stretch to shape to the foot for an exceptional fit, and is highly air permeable for comfort in warmer conditions. easy to pack and carry, this advanced footwear is light, exceptionally durable and can be used for scrambles, day hikes and everyday wear.

vibram® megagrip outsole

collaborating with partners helps arc’teryx designers create new solutions. working closely with vibram®, and leveraging their expertise, they created an outsole that delivers versatility without sacrificing performance. specifically configured to deliver grip and support required for difficult approaches and descents on rock and technical terrain, the tread design provides traction while climbing without sacrificing ease of stride on flats and trails. the vibram® megagrip rubber compound helps maintain secure footing in wet and dry conditions. cushioning comes from the injected eva midsole that is specifically moulded for stability and impact protection. the injected tpu chassis adds support and stability, and the ortholite™ footbed adds a layer of comfort.

adaptive fit lite

taking arc’teryx adaptive fit technology and using an exclusive lamination process that integrates it with the seamless one piece upper creates a construction that layers protection and support over a stretchable liner. this integration reduces weight and volume while providing a zonal adaptive fit in key areas of the shoe. by forming to the foot, adaptive fit lite helps eliminate hot spots, reduces break in time and provides improved security and support. the fit also helps seal out debris and increases air permeability for better comfort in warm, dry conditions.
