Pretty cool news today from Gear Scout – Arc’teryx is launching a new line of footwear Spring 2015, and it sounds fantastic.
Arc’teryx Equipment just announced a new footwear line featuring their unique brand of advanced technology and function-focused design. The hallmark of both the Alpha and Bora lines of lightweight hikers is a two-piece construction using separate, tongueless inner liners with seamless hydrophobic outer shells that has more in common with ski boot construction than traditional shoe construction.
Arc’teryx spent four years developing the shoes. To illustrate how radical a departure these shoes are from the current market offerings, company representatives say that all of the materials and technology to make the shoes was developed in-house, marking a complete departure from currently available footwear. Some of the construction methods are so new that company had to make custom production machinery to manufacture the shoes.

Awesome.
All I can say is keep us posted!
Interesting. I’ll wait and see how the reviews stack up.
Do Want.
Spring 2015?
I’m still waiting for them to release the Drypack 70. It was supposed to be released in March. Still waiting, and waiting. Still waiting.
Sorry to hear that.
