Icebug Arcus 2 Men RB9X GTX MistBlue 2025

IceBug focuses on making shoes with incredible grip on all terrains to motivate people to move and do sports outdoors even when the conditions are wet, slippery and inhospitable by developing a number of unique materials, using studs and even Michelin tires. The Swedish manufacturer is an initiator and participant in numerous programs and initiatives for sustainable development and reducing the carbon footprint that large-scale production leaves on nature. Every material and manufacturing process that IceBug uses aims to use the minimum amount of chemicals, petroleum fuels, water and energy. Since example is the first and most important thing in a large-scale battle like this, they formed the Follow the Footprints program, which provides complete transparency about the production process of each pair. Just scan the QR code on the label of your new shoes and you'll get a full report in numbers on how environmentally friendly they are, as well as a detailed list of the countries they've traveled to get to you.

The updated Arcus 2 Men RB9X GTX is a men's sports shoe that is designed for long distance runs and walks on gravel roads and is a great and very stable choice for mountain and forest walks during the cold and wet months of the year.

Arcus 2 RB9X GTX protects from foul weather thanks to the waterproof Gore-Tex Invisible membrane. The membrane is integrated with the upper material, making it even softer and more comfortable than a traditional membrane bootie construction. 

This shoe is for the user that wants to have extra cushioning, whether it might be for longer runs, recovery runs or when running with a backpack. To enhance the comfort and great running feeling it has a rocker midsole to reduce pressure on the forefoot and heel and aid the momentum forward - giving a smooth stride. The midsole is made of compression molded EVA which enables a natural dual density where the forefoot has a higher density - giving a more responsive toe-off. This gives great comfort on longer runs and yet provides responsiveness and a great running feeling.

The RB9X outsole provides traction on both dry and wet surfaces, making Arcus the perfect running shoe in most weather conditions. Laboratory tests (SATRA) show that shoes with this sole provide a higher grip on slippery surfaces. This outsole is used in shoes for professional athletes in mountain running and orienteering such as Erik Öhlund, elite orienteer and representative of IceBug. RB9X is very stable in mud, on rocks, on wet asphalt and wet grass. It does not lose its properties in winter temperatures

Icebug's Arcus 2 RB9X GTX is a perfect choice for anyone who trains year-round and doesn't want to cut back on their training intensity because of bad weather outside.
