Experienced shoppers know nothing tastes as good as a great deal feels. Yes, some pliability may still be needed for the mental gymnastics of justifying a purchase, but finding a bargain is a thrill. And few deals are more thrilling than the one hidden in plain sight within Arc’teryx’s footwear section. 

Tucked among the standard-fare (but admittedly stylish) running and hiking options is the Postour Boot: a chunky silhouette in the lineage of Yeezy or Moon Boot (or even UGG), but fully Arc’teryx — thanks primarily to the XL fossil logo plastered on the side. 

On its own, this would be a solid winter pick for anyone whose meme-afflicted Arc’teryx logo beanie isn’t performative enough. But the Postour’s funnel-like shape packs more than insulation; it also includes a fully removable slipper, slapping some additional branding onto the side of its Tatsu/Black colorway. 

This nesting doll trick essentially turns the $300 boot into a “buy one, get one free” deal (and a great one at that). Each piece of this transformative shoe is technically complex: both the slipper and the boot offer waterproof protection, moisture-resistant Coreloft insulation, and a grippy outsole. 

Technically, the Postour is made for those who regularly go on ski trips and face the champagne problem of swapping shoes as they move between cold, wet snow and the warmth of an indoor lodge. But you don’t need to know what “après touring” is to appreciate when a good boot is a good boot and a surprise slipper all in one convenient package.

It’s difficult enough to find the perfect shoe to shuffle around in, whether at a ski lodge or on a city street. Getting two Arc’teryx-quality kicks for the price of one? That’s a shopping logic win-win.
