Arcteryx Konseal GTX Zustiegschuhe Herren Black

The Arc'teryx Konseal GTX in Black/Black is a men's approach shoe for technical routes to the crag and trips with a loaded pack. Its low shaft combines ankle mobility with a sole construction designed for stability. Extended lacing supports precise adjustment across the foot.

The upper uses nubuck leather with a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof, breathable weather protection. A compressed EVA midsole provides cushioning, while a carbon-fibre shank adds stiffness when carrying loads. The Vibram XS Flash 2 outsole combines a smooth forefoot climbing zone with a separate heel tread for descents. The manufacturer lists four-millimetre lugs, an eleven-millimetre drop and a reference weight of 435 grams per shoe.

Try the Konseal with the socks you intend to use and check heel hold, toe room and pressure points, including with your foot flexed. Match your route and load to your experience and the conditions. An approach shoe does not replace specialist climbing footwear or independent protection. After use, gently remove dirt from the surface and tread. Arc'teryx specifies surface cleaning. Let the shoes dry without direct heat and regularly inspect the laces, upper and outsole for damage before another trip.
