Arc'teryx Vertex Speed Low (Men's)

Run your climb in this progressive hybrid shoe that combines the specific requirements of climbing into the efficiency of a mountain running shoe. Fly up technical ascents and comfortably back down thanks to a zoned outsole that grips hard rock surfaces and provides traction on soft trail terrain and shock-absorbing underfoot cushion that keeps you feeling stable and lets you feel the ground beneath your feet. The low-profile, stretchy knit collar helps seal out debris.
