Fashion has embraced the approach shoe as the latest outdoor-coded footwear trend, and although Arc’teryx’s updated Kragg Mid certainly looks the part, it’s actually a bona fide approach shoe with sleek style, rather than a lifestyle shoe playing dress-up.
The Dead Bird gave its approach and recovery mid cut shoe upgrades in both fit and fabric, offering enhanced comfort getting to and resting after the crag.
The refreshed Kragg Mid Shoe maintains its pull-on silhouette and minimal good looks, but offers subtle upgrades that enhance performance.
Tuned for cool weather climbing, Arc’teryx revamped
Tuned for cool weather climbing, Arc’teryx revamped the Kragg Mid’s upper with new Betaspun wool, which delivers improved warmth and comfort, whether you’re hiking or resting in between pitches.
An improved stretch-knit runway down the upper makes entry easier and enhances breathability, while the updated fit gives added toe room and locked-down midfoot support.
The moulded rubber toe cap provides protection from trail obstacles, the PU drop-in midsole is designed with comfort in each step and the Vibram Megagrip outsole features an optimized lug pattern for traction on soft surfaces and grip on rocks.
The Kragg Mid comes in three colorways: Mid
The Kragg Mid comes in three colorways: Mid Bracken/Void, Passport/Dk Stratus and Black/Black, and retails for $160.
