Running at altitude can be a tricky business. Along with reduced oxygen levels and unpredictable weather, you have to contend with the varied terrain of mountain trails. The right footwear is essential, and we've spotted a great deal on a mountain-ready pair to help you speed through the mountains with confidence this summer.
The Arc'teryx Norvan LD 4 men's trail running shoes were only released in February but have been knocked down to just $119 in anticipation of Amazon Prime Day. The upcoming sale begins on July 8 and is expected to offer huge savings on all sorts of outdoor equipment.
The Norvan LD 4 trail running shoes were designed with unpredictable mountain terrain in mind. Along with a PFAS-free, abrasion-resistant polyester upper and flexible TPU reinforcement, they boast a reduced stack height for added stability. Their Vibram Megagrip outsoles feature Arc'teryx's Litebase lugs to keep you on your feet as you take on the slippery rocks and soft mud of harsh alpine trails.
This deal only applies to men's sizes, but you can find women's Norvan LD 4s for their list price of $170 on the Arc'teryx website.
Despite their technical design, these Arc'teryx shoes include plenty of features aimed at increasing comfort. A new sock liner intends to improve their fit over long distances, and a softened toe box reduces pesky toe bashing as you descend.
Don't panic if you're not in the US. Take a look below at the best Arc'teryx Norvan deals available where you are right now.
