Product Description
MEN’S WINTER TRAIL RUNNING SHOE WITH GORE-TEX WEATHER PROTECTION, OVER-ANKLE GAITER, VIBRAM MEGAGRIP OUTSOLE, 6 MM LUGS AND STABLE MOUNTAIN-RUN FIT
The Arc'teryx Norvan 4 Nivalis Grotto Men’s Shoe is a waterproof winter trail running shoe built for mountain running, trail running and mixed winter terrain. Designed to help keep snow, water and debris out, it combines a sealed GORE-TEX invisible upper cover with an over-ankle gaiter for dry-footed confidence in harsh conditions.
Winter-optimised 6 mm outsole lugs help provide traction on snow and mud, while the Vibram Megagrip outsole with LITEBASE technology supports durable surefooted performance across changing terrain. For icy conditions, the shoe is compatible with carbide spikes or microspikes.
A dual-density midsole combines cushioning, shock absorption and support for rugged all-day trail use, while a 55C compressed EVA medial post adds firmer stability. The easy-adjusting speed-lace system includes a lace garage for hassle-free storage, and improved foot hold helps deliver precise steps on uneven ground.
