The arrival of warmer weather means an increased push amongst consumers to partake in activities out of the house, which is being supported by fashion products like the Arc’Teryx Aerios FL Mid GTX Hiking Shoes.
The shoes feature a lightweight profile that is achieved thanks to Gore-Tex material in the mix, which contributes to wind and waterproof capabilities. The run-inspired design of the footwear is intended to reduce friction, while an extended collar will provide additional support to hikers in the face of uneven terrain.
The Arc’Teryx Aerios FL Mid GTX Hiking Shoes feature a Vibram Megagrip outsole along with TPU shanks within to let them easily transition between environments without feeling too out of place in urban locations.
