Arc'teryx Arakys Approach Shoe Women's

The Arc'teryx Women's Arakys Approach Shoe eliminates the need to bring along a pair of climbing specific shoes when you go for lunch break gym climbs and quick after work boulder missions. This innovative approach shoe is made for crossing technical terrain, but more than holds its own when bouldering, doing single pitch climbs, or tackling quick routes on the gym wall. The air permeable ripstop upper is tough, yet breathable, and a stretchy Adaptive Fit Lite liner conforms to your foot to eliminate hot spots, reduce break in time, and provide a more secure fit. It also sports a collapsible heel so you can wear the Arakys as a laid back slipper when you're on belay. The leather footbed allows barefoot comfort, while the EVA midsole cushions your step when you're hiking to a faraway crag for a bigger climbing mission. Vibram's Light Approach outsole provides sure footed grip on muddy trails and granite walls alike, and the MegaGrip rubber compound offers the right blend of durability, flex, and rigidity needed to handle everything from quick climbs to long approaches.
