Running shoe with superior comfort and studded traction on all winter roads. Read more..
Arcus 2 BUGrip GTX can withstand tough weather thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX® ePE Invisible membrane. The membrane is integrated with the upper material, making it even softer and more comfortable than a traditional membrane bootie construction.
Icebug equipped the Arcus 2 with their nitrogen-infused SuperC midsole, providing an incredibly comfortable running experience that lasts over time. The sole is very light and designed to reduce pressure on the forefoot and heel while driving you forward, resulting in a smooth stride. The latest midsole technology gives great comfort on longer runs while providing high responsiveness in every step.
The BUGrip outsole has thirteen dynamic studs that provide reliable traction on all winter surfaces.
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.
BUGrip® Technology Performance Information
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.
