Or close to it. In short: Arcteryx is taking the world of footwear to the top. The quintessence of materials, perfection of construction, design dedicated to use; it is impossible not to star this 2nd version of the Norvan SL. Ultra-competitive, it is a pure shoe (166 g). And yet, we still can&#8217;t believe it: unexpected grip and resilience. Cushioned?
