If you’re looking for trail shoes that are lightweight, flashy, and fun, look no more because the Arc’teryx Vertex Speed checks all of those boxes.
Upon receiving the Arc’Teryx Vertex Speed in the mail, I really wasn’t sure what to expect since I have never run in this brand of trail shoe before.
This well known Canadian company has a great reputation for outdoor and climbing gear, but is somewhat newer to the trail and running shoe community, so I was ready to put them to the test!

Who is it good for?
Who is the Arc’Teryx Vertex Speed a good fit for? Let’s break it down with some common categories:
- Wide Feet: This shoe has a roomy toe box but may not be the best choice for wide feet
- Technical Trails: The design was made for technical trails and has excellent grip and flexibility to move over tough terrain with speed.
- Long Runs: Definitely made to go the distance over rugged trails.
- Front of the Pack: Such a light shoe and designed for speed and agility.
