Slipping_inmy_SylanGTX –
I love the aesthetics, materials, rocker of the midsole and outsole.
However, this shoe has a fatal flaw. The heel is way too low. So frustrating and weird. This is a goretex shoe. That inherently implies you need it to stay dry and keep the elements out. So, taking the risk of having such a low heel height is such an unforced error. It a glaring mistake. Additionally, the low heel height creates excessive heel slip. Perhaps lastly, the heel collar itself doesn’t sit over the widest part of the calcaneus and hug the achilles that would help the slip issue, it instead wraps around AT the widest part of your heel – also not helpful. I am wondering if you have the same designer as on the NIKE ACG?? They have the exact same problem in the heel of their goretex trail shoes in the current model and over the past several seasons. To get everything so close to right and muck the heel so badly is just sad.

Awesome looking shoe, loved the cushioning and rocker too. Unfortunately had to return the shoe because I couldn’t get my heel locked down.

Was initially leery of rocker styling, but jumped in and love, love, love them! Felt a bit different compared to Norvan LD 3 GTX that I wore all summer, but now dont notice difference. They are beyond comfortabledont hesitate!

Probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I have only walked in them at this point but it was -20c with snow and the grip the shoes provided was amazing!

I have had my Sylan’s for a couple weeks now and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am a big fan of the arc of the shoe, it allows for a very comfortable and appealing run.

Really interesting shoe. Initially I was put off by the low heel as walking in them felt VERY odd. However these are trail shoes and they are predominantly for running. When I ran in them felt no issue with the reduce heel depth but I do not heel strike, if you heel strike these are possibly not the best shoes for you (the mid foot section of the sole has more padding than the heel). The lugs are good, would wear out quickly on tarmac so don’t ruin these shoes doing that. I recommend on mixed trails of semi compacted, which the large amounts of padding is good for, wet terrain and mud. decent for long runs, very comfortable. On super soft ground you’ll loose a lot of energy through the cushioning. I’m currently on my 4th pair of Arcteryx Norman LD3’s and been through one pair of Norman LD2. These are completely different shoe to them. Slightly narrower than the LD3 but wider than LD2.

These were my first pair of Arc’teryx trail running shoes and I promise you it’s worth going for the gore-tex. Bought the yellow and grey ones. I call them my lemon pepper steppas. Bought them a half-size smaller then usually because they were the last of that style and my feet have had no issues at all. Broke them in along the “7 Falls Trail to Bear Canyon” out in Tucson AZ. The inner ankle sock design took me off guard at first but I quickly grew to appreciate the comfy support since these do leave your ankle slightly exposed. Crossed about 8 rivers and socks stayed dry as long as you keep water out of the top of them (duh).

I’ve had the Sylan GTX for around 2 months now and I couldn’t be happier with them. I have about 50 miles on them so far and they seem to be getting better with each run. They feel remarkably supportive and with an aggressive profile, they handle variable terrain with ease. The shoes have a bit of a high platform and very pronounced rocker which is has been great for performance but takes a bit of time to get used to.
Out of the box, they’ll feel pretty ridged but after a couple miles they’ll ease up to the perfect fit. The GTX model has been nice far for wet, muddy days and I haven’t had much issue with moisture build up in the shoe with it being Gore-Tex. I did notice that the heel felt a bit shallow and I was getting a lot of slippage but once I laced the shoes up to the top hole, it seemed to combat that issue. I would say on future models however, this would be worth looking into.
Overall, I’ve been super stoked about the Sylan GTX and couldn’t be happier with how they’ve performed. For what it’s worth, my pace has improved since wearing these… could just be mental… could be the shoes…. could be that I’ve eaten way less ice cream lately… who can say really? Take it as you will. Great shoes and I’d highly recommend them.

Had a hard time finding a black gortex running shoe but I sure like the Sylan GTX shoe.

Did some hiking and bouldering at Zion National Park with my new GTX shoes and they performed perfectly.

I own Aerios FL 2 Mid GTX size 12.5 US shoes. They were noticeably more comfortable with better fit than previous hiking shoes. I bought them for a trip to Costa Rica. They had a little heel lift, ample toe room and zero toe jam so I figured I had probably gotten half size too big.
So, I tried mens size 12 Sylan GTX to see how they felt. The toe box was very cramped even though there was no toe jam and probably about 3/8 from toe tip to contact with shoe. I ran around inside the house and could feel the very cushioned rocker effect. I knew I wanted that but the constricted toe box was too painful so I returned intending to try next size up after trip to China. I now have both GTX and non-GTX Sylan sz 12.5 US from an online store. The GTX version upper is noticeably stiffer which makes it feel (uncomfortably) tighter and also feels like it has both more cushion and rocker induced propulsion. The non-GTX lacks the tabs at heel and toe to assist getting the shoe on, and gains a tight fitting sock like tongue liner that wraps around the ankle extending about 3/4 further up the ankle than the GTX. Theres also a different feel to the joint of materials above the toes with the non-GTX having a more noticeable ridge. Both shoes are still tight in the toe box compared to the Aerios and I am wearing them around the house to decide. If you are looking for a more cushioned shoe that propels you forward this might be it. As for trail running, I have not tried yet but imagine these to absorb the rocks better and reduce stability due to the higher platform height and more rounded periphery of the sole. Basically built for straight ahead speed and comfort.

The Norvan is my go-to travel shoe – gives a lot of support for walking long days. I got the Sylan to replace my last pair but this shoe feels much more aggressive than the Norvan. I think I will use this for hiking/trail running only and get another Norvan for walking/casual use.
Lentz –
Sturdy, supportive, and comfortable. Arrived as expected, and functions as hoped for.
Diego_privateguide –
The shoes are great. Very comfortable and soft to walk or run in. The rubber is grippy and the little pocket on the shoe tounge to stow away the laces is very practical. I am yet to see how durable they are since I just got them. So far so good.
Bonbon –
Great hiking shoes with a lot of protection. Nice color and design.
Global –
Very impressed (tho not surprised) at the apparent quality and look of these shoes. Very supportive and comfortable during first couple lite runs. Time will tell how they hold up in weather and longer use but initial impression is excellent product!
Elpc3 –
Varies slightly from your normal size (we’ve had both issues men’s seem to run slightly small, women’s slightly large) but GREAT shoes for the PNW or similar climate – comfortable, gortex, extra rubber and FEATHER weight. Include a special little pocket for your tied laces, to keep them dry/out of the way. Though these shoes are meant for trail running, they work well for everyday…especially in our wet climate. Edgy style and functional. Say good bye to your rubber boots?! Both male and female in our house share the love for these shoes.

I already owned Konseal FL 2 Leather GTX and my impression remains excellent in terms of support on all types of terrain. The Sylan is different because it is a trail shoe. My heel systematically escapes from the shoe even when tightening the laces as much as possible. I think the warped shape of the sole is the cause of this inconvenience.
Ironfoot –
I’ve bought the shoe for daily walking, I had foot surgery and the rounded sole helps me to keep pressure off my heels and toes.
Phiberopttic –
I’m insanely impressed with these shoes. Like everyone else, I’ve tried just about every imaginable trail shoe and the Sylan is far superior. I have very regular feet and a normal’ish gait, these work perfectly for me. The finish is outstanding!
