Icebug Arcus W BUGrip GTX Studded Running Shoes Cloud Blue 2023

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.

Arcus BUGrip GTX are designed for long and technical runs in winter on icy and technical terrain. They are made with the idea of taking you through your workout even when the weather outside is very bad, which is why they are equipped with all the technologies for safety and comfort.

Arcus BUGrip GTX can withstand tough 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 this model 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 BUGrip outsole has 13 dynamic studs that provide reliable traction on all winter surfaces. The BUGrip sole is made of a special rubber compound. The design of the studs, together with the properties of the rubber compound, give these studs a dynamic function. The studs work independently from each other and are not completely fixed. When weight is applied the studs push in toward the surface of the sole. How far they are pushed in depends on the pressure exerted by the user and the resistance from the ground. This dynamic function makes the studs adapt to the surface and provide the best possible traction on anything from dry asphalt to pure ice.

The Icebug Arcus BUGrip GTX is made for long runs or for those that wants more support also at shorter distances. They provide superior traction and comfort in all winter conditions.
