Solid all-arounder

A fairly light and fairly comfortable shoe. The upper seems well-built, and the sole is good for hiking, but could really be refined for climbing by being a touch narrower and having a larger climbing zone in the sole pattern. These tend to be pretty hot compared with other shoes with more mesh in the uppers, but that will likely be made up for by the longevity. With stickier rubber and a bit narrower toe box and a bit lighter weight, this shoe could be stellar. Right now, it's a solid hiking-oriented approach shoe

Downgrade from previous version
1 week ago
A downgrade from the previous version in my opinion. The upper is less breathable, which makes these less comfortable in summer months. I miss the older toe kick which had better coverage than this version. The sole is still very high quality. The heel required more break in than the older version. I had blisters from my initial day wearing them, though comfort has since improved.
No, I do not recommend this product

Hi Chris. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Konseal Shoe. We're glad to hear the sole quality and overall comfort have improved with wear, but we appreciate your feedback on the upper breathability, toe coverage, and heel break-in. Insights like yours are incredibly valuable as we continue to evolve the design—thank you for letting us know.

High Performance Alpine Shoes

Took these bad boys out on a hike the other week. Felt very secure in these shoes throughout the hike. The Vibram XS feature and the lug pattern stuck like glue on the rock face, loose shale, and uneven terrains, making it easier for me to trust my feet on those steep eleys. Also, one of the most comfortable alpine shoes I have in my wardrobe! No cap.

Great update to my favorite shoe!

Great update to this shoe! I've been wearing Konseal (former) version for the last several years and they are by far my favorite. The leather version has been stable on the trails but nice looking for the office. This version has a more capable design for varied terrain. I hope they come out with a non-leather GTX version as well.

Fantastic Approach Shoe

I have had multiple versions of the Konseal over the years and this iteration is the best. Over fit and finish are superb and minimal break in was required. Another premier offering from Arcteryx

The last gen Konseal was my favorite high country hiking / scrambling shoe. This new version is even more comfortable and durable. I like the leather upper and the minimalist design.
