Arc'teryx warranty for shoes
The short version
Arc'teryx covers shoes in full for 1 year, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Arc'teryx's published warranty, checked October 2026.
