They keep my feet warm in winter! Almost 5 stars …
7 months ago
Happy to report that these Kopec GTX Shoes are exactly what I’d hoped: warm, *completely windproof*, roomy toebox, comfy for lots of city walking, and a great alternative to boots on winter days when there’s no snow on the ground. I’ve gone walking in -8 Celsius (approx 17 Fahrenheit) wearing merino wool socks (thin, not bulky socks) and my feet kept warm for several kilometres of walking. Winter is long enough, and some days I just want to go walking and not have to wear boots. My shoe size is around 9.5 and I went with a size 10 (so I could put in my own Birk blue footbeds which are similar to orthotics so if you need those, they’ll work fine if you go 1/2 size up. The Arc’teryx foot bed is removable as well fyi if you need more space). The reason I can only give 4 stars and not 5, is because the shoelaces are terrible. They *do not stay tied*. The laces on each shoe loosen up after about 15 minutes of walking. I had to stop twice to re-tie them in a half hour span, and they were loose again when I got to my destination. And this is while wearing fleece leggings that stop at my ankles — so the laces didn’t come loose because pants were rubbing on top of my shoes or anything like that. These laces are just too thin and maybe they’re waxed (?) because they loosen constantly. It wasn’t a big deal to buy new laces and I would still have given 5 stars but what made it super frustrating is that the eyelets on these shoes are vertical, flat and narrow, so it was difficult to take out the old laces and even more of a struggle to put in new laces. Grrrrr. That is my only complaint to Arc’teryx’ design team. Please make these with proper laces!! (fyi, the shoelace length is 54” and you’ll want the kind that are oval and for boots or hiking shoes). I’d still buy these shoes again and would recommend them because they’re otherwise nice and great quality.

I took the Kopec GTX to Alaska, and it quickly became my go-to shoe for everything from snowy trails to scrambling on rocky terrain. It kept my feet dry and comfortable, handling snow effortlessly, while the grip felt super secure even on rugged paths. The support and fit were spot-on, making it ideal for long days exploring diverse landscapes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a versatile hiking shoe that performs well in both snowy and rocky conditions!

There are better shoes
8 months ago
Love how waterproof these shoes are and they have the widest toe box of any arc'teryx shoe I've tried. My issue is the creasing on the top, which on a normal shoe happens roughly around the point your toes meet your foot, but on this shoe the crease is right over the toes, causing a lot of pressure. This is especially bad if you try to wear them after climbing, climbing shoes will make your toes tender and these will feel really uncomfortable with every step after. I was hoping with some wear this would soften up but it hasn't happened yet. I think this issue is due to the laces coming too far down the shoe, making that area that normally would crease, be reinforced with gtx fabric, making the "weak" point move further down the shoe. Would love to hear any beta around making these shoes crease in the right spot as they're really great otherwise!

Hi Ana Laura. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Kopec GTX Shoe. We are happy to hear that you are liking their wide toe box and waterproofing. That being said, we can see how the creasing can cause them becoming uncomfortable. We appreciate your comments and we will make sure to pass them to our team.

Dry feet in wet conditions
8 months ago
The first few wears the shoe felt a bit stiff, but it soon broke in and has been a comfy wear. It's been a great shoe to wear hiking, around town and in a slushy ski resort parking lot. I am usually a 7.5 or 7 shoe, I went for the 7 but could have sized down to the 6.5. I recommend trying it on to confirm the best size for you.

Live the wide toe box and the low drop. Now if they made the sole more pliable (more like a trail runner) and added a second lace hole on either side to be able to lock the heel down,band made it zero drop rather than about 2 mm, it would be a perfect shoe.

Disappointed that this shoe replaced the KONSEAL
3 months ago
I'm really disappointed that Arcteryx discontinued their earlier version of this shoe, the KONSEAL FL2 LTHR GTX W and replaced it with the KOPEC GTX. I have both shoes and the earlier version is far superior in both build and comfort. It was a shoe that I would have wished for a lifetime supply...worn every day of a 5-week trip, enabling my arthritic feet to feel comfortable and energized. I was too late to purchase a 2nd pair and had to opt for the lesser quality KOPEC. Haven't yet tested waterproofing (earlier shoe was great), or traction (again, earlier model was great for traction with far better version of the Vibram sole). The earlier version had far better material quality, from top to bottom, so I can't commend Design, as it's not as comfortable. The only plus is the wider toe-box. Please bring back the KONSEAL FL2 LTHR GTX W!!!

Hi Poppy. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Kopec GTX Shoe. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed and that they did not suit your needs. The Kopec line, however, will not be a replacement for the Konseal line. The Kopecs are designed for fast and light hiking while the Konseal line is designed as approach footwear. The Konseal line is part of our current collection, we currently have the Konseal FL2 available online, and we recommend subscribing to our newsletter for up-to-date information on our footwear.

Getting there!

Almost there. If Arc would make this with a zero drop, and a squishier trail runner mid sole that and add a heel lock with the laces from the vertex, this would be a perfect shoe. It is a step in the right direction with the low drop and the wide toe box but the laces come undone and come loose continuously and it would be nice if the sole was not so stiff. Not as squishy as the Lone peak Altra but about half way there. The durability is good and the tread is good. If I were to guess I would say the drop in this shoe is about 2-3 mm. It is alright and way nicer than the rest of the arc shoes but a 0 drop in this shoe with a running shoe mid sole would probably take over the Altra lone peak market because the lone peaks are too wide with a durability issue and people are fed up. Grab the market share before people wake up and move to Topo.

Super comfy

Instantly comfortable. I normally struggle to find walking shoes that fit me first go. I tend to find shoes too narrow in the toe box, and have fund this problem with other Arc’teryx footwear models. However the Kopec’s are a hit! With a wider toe box, I was instantly comfortable and was able to wear them straight out of the box and onto the trail!

Annoying creasing
3 weeks ago
Overall this shoe is ok, I’ve been wearing them to walk approx 30k steps a day in prep for the West Highland Way but I have decided against using them for this. Waterproofing is perfect but the creasing in the toe area due to the low lace start point and moulding is quite annoying. The crease goes from my little toe across and I’m getting pain in the little toe due to this even when releasing the lace from the bottom lace loop. I went into the arcteryx shop in London and the guy was great trying to sort the lacing out but the pain is still there. Also, Even when using good socks the insole is very hard for long treks, I’m going to add a softer insole see if that helps. I like a string sole but there is zero spring back leaving foot feeling heavy, I loved my arcteryx Norvan and had high hopes for the kopec they look lovely but for long treks unfortunately it’s a no from me. Please don’t go like north face, focusing more on look than performance.

Hello Tracy, thanks so much for sharing your detailed experience with the Kopec GTX Shoe, we really appreciate you putting it through such demanding use while prepping for the West Highland Way. It’s great to hear the waterproofing delivered, but we're sorry the toe creasing, insole feel, and lack of energy return didn’t meet your expectations for long-distance comfort. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and has been shared with our product team to help guide future development. If you’re looking for a shoe closer in feel to your Norvans, we’d be happy to help you explore performance-focused alternatives that could better support your goals.
