The Arc’teryx Konseal Trek Boot has been developed as an updated take on the brand's namesake footwear style that's designed and engineered to help prioritize a surefooted feel for avid adventurers.
The shoe is paired with a PFC-free nubuck leather and a collar crafted from Kevlar to prioritize style, but also protection from the elements. The shoe is characterized by its waterproof profile that's achieved thanks to a GORE-TEX membrane in its Invisible Fit construction. The midfoot is strengthened by a carbon fiber shank to support wearers when dealing with load hauling, while the compression-molded EVA midsole maximizes comfort.
The Arc’teryx Konseal Trek Boot comes in two color options and sizing for men as well as women, which are all available for preorder.
