Double Boot For Technical Ice — Arc’teryx Acrux AR Boot
Arc’teryx pulled out all the stops on this $750 boot, and it represents the pinnacle of ice climbing and mountaineering footwear design. We examined it up close and tried on a sample, and everything — from the double-boot construction with a removable inner booty, to the carbon-fiber frame and waterproof zipper closure — seems perfectly dialed.
On the foot, the boot is superlative and seems like it will be a dream for climbing up to its intended limits around 5000 meters.
