42 WOMEN’S RUNNING SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019

(^10) ARC’TERYX NORVAN VT 2
Heavier than others on the list, this low-profi le
update is built with versatility in mind. With a
rubber toe reminiscent of an “approach” climbing
shoe, you can transition from run to easy climb
or scramble without losing your grip on even the
most rugged terrain. $170, arcteryx.com
(^11) MERRELL ANTORA
Merrell’s latest venture into running is the
Antora, a shoe that’s compatible with road and
moderately diffi cult trail surfaces. These lightly
cushioned kicks were designed for a very specifi c
demographic: female runners with narrow feet
and high arches. $110, merrell.com
