Arc'teryx Konseal Approach Shoes - Men's

When the approach involves steep trails, loose scree and a bit of scrambling, the Konseal keeps you surefooted. A stable platform and supportive midsole help keep your footing steady while carrying a heavy pack, and the abrasion-resistant nubuck upper stands up to rough alpine terrain. The dual-purpose outsole combines a climbing-focused forefoot for smearing on slabs with deeper heel traction for hiking downhill, giving you confidence from the trailhead to the base of the climb. Extended lacing and improved heel hold help create a precise fit when the terrain gets technical, while the 4 mm lugs provide dependable traction across mixed surfaces
