BURSTThe Arc’teryx Kragg was unveiled earlier this year and we’ve been wearing them on approaches, on our way to the gym, and at campfires after the crag. It’s become one of our favourite casual shoes. It strikes the perfect balance between a dorky slip-on and the beloved flip flop.
As if Arc’teryx hadn’t delivered enough this year, they hit us with the Kragg, insulated edition. These are just as cool as the for-warmer-weather Kraggs, but they’re made for cold temperatures – and they look great.
Here’s what Arc’teryx says about them: “With a design focused on comfort and warmth, our insulated Kragg is the go-to for short, cool -weather approaches and post-climb recovery. Breathable PrimaLoft insulates the upper and footbed, the ripstop upper is light and durable, and the sock liner has an odour-fighting antimicrobial treatment. A stretch collar creates a sock-like fit, the rubber toe cap and sidewall protect, and a Vibram Megagrip outsole delivers a confident grip across a range of surfaces and conditions.”
These are like luxury slip-on winter boots, built for comfort but designed for Arctic ruggedness. It’s like having the interior of a Bentley Continental but the ability of a Toyota Tundra. We’ve only just started to wear the insulated Kragg for short walks to local mixed crags, but we already love them.
