Which running shoe should you choose?

Running should be fun – wearing the right shoes will decide. We have running shoes for both world champions and beginners. With this guide we hope to make it a little easier to find the right pair.

Arcus 2 RB9X GTX

Arcus 2 is a perfect shoe for both everyday use and long runs on gravel and trails. The shoe protects against wet weather thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX® ePE Invisible membrane.

This shoe is ideal for those who want a capable and comfortable shoe with extra cushioning, whether it's for longer runs, recovery runs, or when running with a backpack.

Arcus 2 is available in both studded and non-studded versions.

Pytho6 RB9X

The Pytho6 RB9X from Icebug is designed for really fun running on trails, in the woods, or on rocks by the water. Under the sole is Icebug's grippy rubber, RB9X. The tread pattern was modeled after a tractor tire for phenomenal grip on a variety of surfaces.

Pytho6 is super light, has room for the toes to spread out, and features an upper part designed so that water can easily flow out. It’s durable and supportive, so you feel comfortable as you find freedom in running through the forest. As always with Icebug, it is produced as sustainably as possible.

Pytho6 BUGrip

Pytho BUGrip has everything that year-round runners love: medium drop, great stability and support, excellent water-repellent properties, a spacious toe box, and top notch protection in rough terrain.

The sixth edition of this shoe is no exception—designed for long-distance running without compromising the running experience.

The BUGrip® sole provides you with market-leading grip, all year round.

NewRun BUGrip

NewRun BUGrip is a truly comfortable studded running shoe designed for winter road running. The shoe is characterized by its lightweight design, high comfort, and excellent grip—regardless of road conditions. You can choose between BOA lacing or traditional lacing, and the shoe is available with or without GORE-TEX.

Aura RB9X

Welcome to a new world of smooth and lovely running. The Aura RB9X offers our most maximized cushioning ever. With an airy, lightweight mesh upper, your feet will enjoy the run as much as you, even on hard surfaces. The outsole in our RB9X grip rubber has a shallow sole pattern, designed with asphalt running in mind, and a rear split to create a softer landing for those who land on the heel.

Horizon RB9X

Goodbye asphalt, hello forest! Horizon is Icebug's stepping stone to the trails. Having a few less technical details than the OutRun, the price tag for the Horizon is a little a lower, making the Horizon a perfect running shoe for you who are exploring trails for the first time.

Horizon is well-cushioned with an airy upper and is best suited for simpler surfaces. But Horizon’s versatility won’t let you down on the narrow paths. You’ll be running with confidence on the best unstudded grip on the market – Icebug's RB9X rubber.

Acceleritas8 RB9X

Light as a feather, fast as a weasel. Acceleritas is Icebug's lightest trail shoe and is suited for you who love minimalistic running. Acceleritas brings you close to the ground and allows you to feel every step. Almost like running barefoot but with added protection for your feet and aggressive grip for your sole.

Low weight, low drop (4 mm), narrow last and maximum grip are the hallmarks of our best-selling Acceleritas. The RB9X sole provides excellent grip even on wet surfaces. The shoe absorbs minimal water making it well suited for swimrun, OCR and orienteering. Acceleritas is also the first choice for everyone involved in agility.

Spirit8 OLX

One of Icebug's true classics! Spirit is a shoe adapted for orienteering and tough trail running. Its fixed steel studs OLX provides the best possible grip on roots, logs and rocks. Suitable for those who are looking for a narrow shoe that can withstand all sorts of conditions and terrain.

Low wet weight, exceptional durability and exceptional studs make Spirit8 OLX a favorite with orienteers worldwide. Spirit is developed together with the world's best orienteer of all time, Tove Alexandersson, winner of several World Cup golds. With Icebug’s fixed steel studs OLX under your feet, there is no surface where you have no grip. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nothing. Feel free to prove us wrong!

Sisu OLX

Sisu is the first orienteering shoe with lacing from BOA Fit System, which adapts to the shape of your foot and ensures that the shoe sits as cast on the foot throughout the round. This also leads to Sisu getting an entirely new level of ground contact and better grip than any Icebug shoe has had before.

Are you worried that the lacing will break when you give the shoes a good run in the woods? You do not have to be that. Icebug Sisu is hard tested and is just as durable as our other models - and the lacing system from BOA Fit System also comes with a lifetime warranty.
