I became a runner this Summer
6 months ago
I had never fully gotten into running this year and decided to sign up for the Seek the Peak event running from the ocean to the peak of Grouse. My trainer suggested these shoes and I was so happy with them for pavement and trail. I was using a more flat footed shoes before and the 'rocker' style sole changed the how I was running. My knees never hurt and I found these incredibly comfortable - used them everyday to train!

Great all-round trail shoe
1 year ago
These are my go-to shoes when hitting the trails. Be it rougher ground or smoother gravel paths. They are super comfortable (even when the feet swell in hot conditions / on longer runs) and nicely cushioned for longer downhills too which is quite important when running ultras. Also really like the shoe lace "garage" which means I never have to re-tie my laces while running!

Perfect for the trail!

I loved the breathable design, tucked in shoelaces, and the rocket/solitude color pop. The Sylan made me feel light and springy. They run a little big, so maybe get a half size down. I normally get an 8.5 but opted for the 8.perfect fit. Absolutely recommend these shoes for the trail!

My go-to daily runner

The drop/roller is very trailrunning specific. The cushioning is comfortable and I don’t have to run in these shoes to season them, ran in them straight out of the box. The toe box is wider than the Norvans which makes the toes spread a bit more comfortably. The shoe is versatile on both road and trails, as you do not feel the lugs as much on roads like other trail shoes. But of course, it being designed as a trail shoes means the lugs might wear off faster if you run on the road. Comfort, cushioning, stability all in a shoe. I ran up to 65km in these and no complaints. Run Club Piccadilly London every Wednesday allows you to book a size and try them on!

Bomber trail running shoe
11 months ago
This shoe feels like a proper road running shoe that is up to the task of getting dirty along single track and up loose rocks and variable terrain. The rocker is really noticeable, with the shoe propelling you forward with every stride length. The caveat for the build of the shoe is that you do need to run on the balls of your feet. If you're looking for a trail focused running shoe that you would want to walk (heel strike) with, you may be happier with a Norvan. The Sylan is really built for speed along single track. I've found the grip to be quite good across multiple surface types (mud, dry dirt, rock slabs) and will definitely be reaching for this shoe more often than not. This review was written after ~50 kilometers with the shoe. Mostly single-track trail running, with some day hikes and one race (Mini-taur 10k).

Great trail running shoe!

The Sylan is a great trail running shoe for running quickly on less technical terrain. It functions well on smooth gravel or dirt, slab, and scree. It struggles with agility on rocky or terrain as you sit quite high in the shoe. The toe rocker which makes it quick on runnable terrain, also makes it less precise in technical sections. The shoe feels really durable and did not need any time to wear in to feel comfortable so I’m guessing I’ll get well over 500km in them! Overall I’d say it’s a great shoe to have in your line-up, but I would avoid wearing them while trying to run fast in technical trails.

Setting PRs in pink

These shoes feel so different due to the rocker bottom, but I am loving it! It really does feel like the shoe is asking you to keep running. I've only tackled more technical terrain twice, and I was fearful for rolling my ankle due to the stack height, but this has yet to happen and the shoe did feel stable underfoot. It has been comfortable so far for <10 mile runs on mostly trail and minimal pavement. Did take a few runs to break in. I got my true size. It did feel a bit big at first, like it Is sized to be a half size bigger as that can be recommended with running shoes. I'm happy with the feel and don't feel the need to get a half size down, although I think that would work for my foot as well. I've set a few PRs since wearing this shoe, but not sure if that's the shoe or if my fitness is just improving lol. Definite keeper for me!

Great shoe - can really feel the propulsion
1 year ago
Super excited to try out the Sylan trail running shoe - Arcteryx designed the midsole of these shoes to give you an extra boost as you run. At first I thought I wouldn't like it - but I genuinely feel the lift and push I'm getting with each stride. The shoes didn't need any break in period, and were really comfortable on trail. These do run a little long. I am usually a size 8.5 and I probably should have gotten a size 8 in the Sylans.

Trail run delight!

I've been wearing these for the last month. Mostly valley trail runs in Squamish 10k and under. They're super light and comfortable, fit like a glove and am super happy with their performance. I was wondering if they would feel bulky because they are a bigger shoe than I usually run in, but they are so flawlessly light they don't feel big or bulky at all.
