Arc'teryx  Kragg Aura Shoes - Women's

New Kragg Aura Shoes are super comfy, and this version feels like it has more support. The shoes are flexible with the full shoe option or the slip-on version with the back down. These shoes were great for everyday use: city commute, work, working out, and casual strolls. Nice and comfortable shoes for between climbs for indoor and outdoor climbing for climbing shoe relief!

Obsessed with these. Purchased the rune/rune colour, it is so good in person and somehow goes with everything. Comfort-wise… unreal. They genuinely feel like slippers, but way more supportive. I wore them travelling (long flights, airport sprints, all of it) and my feet were happy the entire time. Compared to the original Kragg, these feel lighter, airier and way more breathable. Perfect for warmer days. Only callout is sizing, I’d go half a size down from my usual Kragg size for the best fit.

These shoes slide right on and feel like you're walking on a marshmallow. The fabric is stretchy and soft and the footbed feels fine when wearing with bare feet, they also work with socks. They remind me of a grown up, more durable and functional version of those Sanuk loafer, or a summer-ized version of a Vans slip on. I see myself wearing these as a daily summer shoe and would work perfectly for biking down to the lake, unexpected walks/hikes where you need some traction (ie. more than a sandal), and I'm sure walks to the crag (I don't climb). I went for the Rune/Rune colour which is a nice neutral though I was tempted by the Stone Red LT which is more like a dusty pink colour. I love them. Compared to my regular Kraggs, I had to size down half a size (ie. I'm 6.5W in Arc'teryx and Salomon shoes but I sized down to a 6W in these).

I love the comfort of Kragg shoes and how easy to put them on. That’s exactly what you want on the crags switching to climbing shoes back and forth. I tested the Kragg Aura on my mountain bike as well, I have spiky pedals and they stay nicely and I felt very secure. The only thing I don’t love is (particularly on Aura) the holes causing a wrinkly look at the back. However Aura is more durable compare to previous models.

10 shouldn't be the largest women's size offered. at least go to 12

I've been living in these and a pair of Teva sandals all summer and I love them for the quick wear and comfort (especially as a recovery shoe). I owned the first generation Kragg Shoes which I loved and saw the Aura and really wanted to test these out because although i love my Kraggs they are quite hot (i like my feet cold) and liked the idea of a lighter more breathable shoe. I purchased the Aura in a size down (US Women's 7/ UK 5.5 compared to my first pair at UK 6/US W7.5) and my usual shoe size is US 7/5.5 UK (approx 24cm length foot). I do find they fit smaller and more 'cramped' but not uncomfortably so, and to be honest I always wear the shoe in its slipper style anyway. I'd probably say for a more comfortable and roomier fit size up but for more of a precision fit then stick with your true size (do not size down at all). I usually wear them running errands, post hike/trail run recovery and even on shorter hikes (I visited most waterfalls in Wells Gray wearing these in slipper style and they were great with great grip). I literally live in these and recommend them to everyone I see - even giving them to try on and see how cushiony soft they are. Considering how much mileage they have had this summer they show almost no signs of wear and are just a bit dusty so could do with a clean
