The original Arc'teryx Sylan (@arcteryx ) a bit of a miss for me—but after testing the new Sylan 2, I think Arc'teryx may have finally figured it out.

When I tested the original Arc'teryx Sylan, I had mixed feelings. The midfoot rocker felt a little unusual and it didn’t work particularly well for my overpronation. It wasn’t a bad shoe, but it never quite clicked for me on the trail.

With the Sylan 2, Arc'teryx appears to have refined the design. After several runs, the ride feels smoother and more natural, and overall the shoe runs noticeably better than the original.

In this video I cover:
• What changed from the original Sylan
• How the updated rocker geometry feels on trail
• Stability and how it works for runners with overpronation
• Fit, comfort, and traction
• Whether the Sylan 2 is worth buying

Arc'teryx doesn’t release many running shoes, so when they update one it’s interesting to see how the design evolves.

If you tried the original Sylan, I’d be curious to hear what your experience was.
