Norvan LD 4 GTX Waterproof Running Shoe (Men)

Disagree with reviews on the bounce, very bouncy, but I weigh 100kg so maybe that makes the difference. They seem like they may be a bit warm for a (southern) British summer despite being incredibly thin. They look very good, overall, you get what you pay for and that applies every way you want to take it on these, for the price, they're a good deal.

As pointed out this is a hiking shoe. It is far too stiff for running. That said it is robust, reasonably comfortable and so far good in rain no issues at all. I’d recommend if you intend to use for a lot of heavy hiking with tricky underfoot surfaces. I use it as a commuter shoe in rainy London and it’s worked well. I also like the aesthetic.

I bought these as a winter running shoe to help keep my feet dry in snow, slush, and mud on local forest trails. They have done a good job in that regard and have great traction, however, the Vibram sole is very stiff, especially in colder temperatures. This stiff sole is further compounded by limited cushioning, which makes them quite uncomfortable running on frozen ground. I expect these shoes will be great for hiking or perhaps for more intense mountain trail runners where weight and durability outweigh comfort. Meanwhile, I will be demoting these shoes to hiking only and looking for another pair for my winter runs. They also fit bigger than their advertised size. I usually wear a US 8.5 (EU 41.5), but Arc'teryx's conversion actually converts a US 8.5 to an EU 42 (I should have looked closer at their sizing chart).
