Arcus is the name of a cloud formation and this is exactly what this shoe feels like, with its low weight and high cushion.
- Arcus can withstand tough weather thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible membrane. The membrane is integrated with the upper material, making it even softer and more comfortable than a traditional membrane bootie construction. This shoe is for the user that wants to have extra cushioning, whether it might be for longer runs, recovery runs or when running with a backpack. To enhance the comfort and great running feeling it has a rocker midsole to reduce pressure on the forefoot and heel and aid the momentum forward - giving a smooth stride. The midsole is made of compression molded EVA which enables a natural dual density where the forefoot has a higher density - giving a more responsive toe-off. This gives great comfort on longer runs and yet provides responsiveness and a great running feeling. The BUGrip outsole has thirteen dynamic studs that provide reliable traction on all winter surfaces.
- For what: Long distance winter comfort
- Why we made it: High comfort level and full cushioning, Arcus is made for long runs or for those that wants more support also at shorter distances.

Technology
GORE-TEX
- Products with this symbol are 100 % waterproof and are engineered with GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort Footwear technology that carries the ''GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY'' promise. Water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside.
BUGrip®
- BUGrip® is the name of Icebug’s grip technology for the most slippery conditions. A BUGrip sole is made of a special rubber compound and has 13-19 integrated steel studs. The design of the studs, together with the properties of the rubber compound, give these studs a dynamic function. The studs work independently from each other and are not completely fixed.
- When weight is applied the studs push in toward the surface of the sole. How far they are pushed in depends on the pressure exerted by the user and the resistance from the ground. This dynamic function makes the studs adapt to the surface and provide the best possible traction on anything from dry asphalt to pure ice.
- The purpose of the BUGrip® technology is to provide traction on slippery surfaces. The manufacturing of outsoles with this technology is a complex process. Since the most important component is rubber – a natural material which performance is not possible to entirely control – there might be cases of premature loss of studs from the outsole.
- Therefore, outsoles with BUGrip® technology are designed and manufactured with a surplus of studs. The function of the technology is maintained even if losing 3-4 studs on one outsole. After usage in wet conditions, the head or sides of the studs might get a surface layer of rust. However, the relevant part of the stud for providing traction is the carbide tip, and this will not be affected.
- Warning: No guarantee against slipping. Products with the BUGrip® technology are not recommended for indoor use or on sensitive surfaces.
