Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Aerios Aura Mid

I got these for my mom, she LOVES them. She decided to hike the Machu Picchu in a 5 day push wearing these shoes, and said that out of her group she was the only one with dry feet and no blister.

So I'll preface by saying that the shoes are relatively comfy, lightweight and very grippy however after a few outtings I can say that they're not quite right for me. I have narrow feet and usually hike in Scarpa boots or La Sportiva trail runners. I like having a secure fit and the ability to tighten where needed. On first impression these Aerios Mid where an ideal cross between my typical hikers/runners and I took them on a short walk in the woods. I was very impressed with the grip both on dry dusty mud and slab. However, I found that my foot was just not that comfortable in them. I didn't feel like I could get a secure fit (I ordered a size 39 which is usual for me but they did feel a tab smaller in length than other 39 shoes I own) especially on the mid foot. You'll see that I have bunching on the fabric and my foot could move slightly especially on uneven/slanted terrain. I tried tightening them, adjusting laces but that didn't achieve much and I ended up getting a little sore from the tightness around the ankle and rubbing from the fabric. I found that on average length hikes 5-8km that I would get a sore foot from lack of support for my particular foot shape. All in all they're a nice quality shoe with superb grip but not suitable for me and my thin feet.

Ugly. Not good colors like the picture on the website.

Bought these to hike Zion National Park. Used them out of the box. No blisters, no chafing, excellent grip.

I already have the GTX version, with a waterproof membrane, but waterproof something more breathable. Sizing is the same, really happy so far. Contagrip outsole gave confidence in grip. Really happy so far. The only drawback, as every Arc'teryx shoes I tried, is that the sizing is vers narrow and I have to order bigger size. My toes are far to touch the end of the shoes. Quality and finish are in line with wgat we expert from Arc'teryx

bought the GTX version some months back in a store, did a 100km alpine trek with mixed terrain and lots of boulder fields. the shoes look like new (except maybe the sides of the midlayer sole. they are lightly punctured). really looking forward to hike to some summer summits now in those new Aerios Auras! Colors look exactly like pictured.

These run about a 1/2 size large. I typically wear 10.5 or 44.5 and ordered the 10.5. I had to return for the smaller size. I have a narrow toe box from years of soccer and climbing shoes, and they were too wide in the forefoot for me. 5 stars for quality breathable build; the last just doesn't work with my narrow forefoot shape.

J'adore mes nouveaux souliers de marche, je les porte tous les jours pour voyager en Europe et je suis sur un nuage!

I bought these boots for use with trousers and shorts and they look great with both. Light and stable they are incredibly comfortable and great for wearing all day. They are also nice and light so are not too warm. Great addition to the boot rack!

I've been wearing my pair of Aerios Aura's for about 2.5 months and I have zero complaints. When the weather is hot (and dry) but you still need solid grip and some protection around your feet, these will suit your needs.

Nothing really wrong with the shoe at first glance other than they're quite possibly the most narrow shoes I have ever tried on. I do not have wide feet, Merrel, Adidas Terrex and NB Hierro all fit just fine. It's also not so much the shoe box that is narrow, but the insole pushes up on the outsides, I had pain in my feet after wearing them for 5 minutes in the house.
