Hiking shoe of the year 2024: Arc’teryx Norvan LD 3
A trail running trainer that hits all the right notes as a hiking shoe, the Norvan LD 3 is ultralight, grippy, comfortable and supportive – a lovely balancing act between competing priorities. It has a springy, energetic design, with its InFuse midsole providing active rebound, good shock absorption and plush cushioning. Yet the Norvan LD3 isn’t so highly stacked and squidgy that you lose your sense of connection to and feel for the trail.
At 268g per shoe, it’s very light, meaning you feel somewhat weightless while walking. The upper is made from a soft and flexible mesh, ensuring the shoe is air-permeable and quick-drying, while more durable upper inserts, a 360° wraparound rand, stiffened toe cap and well-designed heel cup add the toughness you need for gnarly terrain. The ankle cuff is soft and forgiving, and the tongue is connected to a stretchy sock-like inner for a comfy fit. The Vibram outsole is sticky, and we particularly loved the way the wide toe box allows your toes to splay – something that’s crucial for avoiding blisters on long-distance walks. We wouldn’t bestow our Gear of the Year title on just any shoe, but the Norvan has truly impressed us.
