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.

Good Fit, and Superior Traction

I run mostly rural roads in packed snow or ice, and purchased these shoes in an attempt to stop sliding down hills when the temperatures dropped and roads froze over. It worked out very well! I can finally go back to powering up inclines, and running down hills without the fear of my run turning into a downhill skate at high rates of speed! The studs grab the ice as if it were dry pavement, and even add grip in compacted snow where other shoes would slip considerably on the toe-off. That's not to say running in snow is much easier than it would be otherwise, but at least there's some grip and my feet stay dry and warm enough to not have to worry about them.
The soles have a lot of cushion and are easy on the feet for longer runs as advertised, but I do find the drop is a little less than I'm used to with my summer shoes. The soft soles also tend to make the shoe a little sluggish so I wouldn't recommend them for speedwork, but running in snowy conditions tends to increase running effort quite a bit for me anyways so speedwork where I run often gets moved indoors regardless.
The fit is very good, and I wish more manufacturers would open the toe box like Icebug does. I'm a true size 9.5US and always size up to a 10 for runners to allow extra space for my larger left foot. These shoes fit perfectly at a size 10 and even allow a bit more toe flex side to side while keeping the ball of my foot where it should be and my heel planted in the pocket.
Overall very good winter shoes.
