Arcteryx KONSEAL Shoe Black

Sturdy approach shoe for trekking rugged, technical terrain with heavy packs.

On approaches that blur the line from rugged backpacking to fourth-class climbing, the Konseal is up for everything. A stable underfoot ride excels across uneven terrain, scree, and snow, even if you’re hauling a heavy load of gear to the wall. The abrasion-resistant upper is built to withstand harsh alpine conditions for long stretches, and a dual-purpose outsole can smear up slabs and descend softer ground with equal confidence. When reaching the climb is a feat in itself, the Konseal gets you there.

Product tip: This shoe is designed for a Precision Fit, so it fits snug across the width of the foot with slightly less space in front of the toes.
