GREAT FIT

Received free product

Man I gotta say I really loved this shoes. Liked them better than expected. They’re really nice, very lightweight and high quality materials. The grip that these shoes have it’s perfect. These shoes are perfect for hiking. Although they’re are a little expensive, other than that they’re perfect. I can usw them with my jeans.

Too narrow

I went to purchase another pair of Kopec 1 and have them as street shoes as they are so comfortable, no longer make them so was recommended to get the Kopec 2, tried it on, seemed okay a little tight but figured they’d break in, nope, toes tingling after 30-45minutes, tried all the adjustments etc, compared the two shoes and the 2 is way narrower than the 1, I would include a picture but, anyway if you have wide feet maybe look at another model. Why they would make such a drastic change is odd. The lack cover needs be able to fold over to tie laces then cover laces. I’m still looking for a pair of Kopec 1 in Canada, so far no luck.

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Kopec series. We’re glad to hear how comfortable the original Kopec 1 was for you, and we understand how disappointing it can be when an updated model doesn’t match the fit you relied on. The Kopec 2 was redesigned with a wider, more forgiving fit to allow for added toe splay, along with more‑responsive midsole foam for better energy return and underfoot protection - but for guests with wider feet, the new shape can still feel noticeably narrower than the Kopec 1. Your feedback on forefoot width and the lace‑cover design is incredibly helpful, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with our product team.

Super durable and well made

Received free product

These are some of the best designed wet hike shoes I have ever tried. They have a waterproof outer layer that seals well and keeps your socks dry. The sizing is a little large but perfect for wearing with thick socks. The low ankles allow for mobility over long distances, and also don't rub. They are simple and sleek looking which I appreciate, as it goes with a wide variety of outfits. The hard rubber knobbly soles are super grippy even on wet rocky ground, perfect for hikes in the rocky mountains. I think these will outlast me- they have SUCh a durable yet lightweight design. Very very happy with this order!

New comfort for a day hike!

At first glance I really didn’t like them because of the giant arc symbol on the shoe but when I tried them on they felt great and comfortable, I wanted something for a 46er I was doing in the Adirondack Mountains. They have this rocker at the bottom that makes hiking a lot more comfortable on top of that the bottom lugs are amazing for mud and rougher terrain. Another plus is the goretex, mud and water were not getting through this shoe as long as they don’t go past my ankle haha. The only cons were that the insole weren’t that great also I had a slight rash from the toe box touching my toes, but I think that’s cause I didn’t break them in. Overall after a 12 hour hike I will probably reach for these shoes again.

Lightweight but sturdy !

Received free product

These shoes are amazing for hiking! The soles are very sturdy and thick. But the actual shoes is very light. Very comfortable and do not irritate. I have tested them in rainy conditions and they held up very well! . Laces stay tight. Sleek design.

Need more colors offered but great shoe

Fits great and easily accepts a foot bed, grip is exceptional and looks great. Would like to see more colors offered, black is not ideal during a hot summer day
