NEW Arc’teryx Konseal – A Modern Outdoor Shoe, 7 Years in the Making
Adam Scepaniak 07.07.25

Arc’teryx originally introduced the 1st Konseal shoe back in 2018 as a minimalist hidden u-throat design, which was not often seen in the shoe industry. Multiple iterations have come since then seeing improvements along the way. Each one with a unique twist for rugged alpine environments. Now, they’re announcing another updated Konseal with a durable, high-performance design engineered to carry you and your load through all of your adventures.

There are 2 variants of the Konseal at the time of its release: the Konseal and Konseal GTX. One of the Konseals is going to be available in a GORE-TEX version for additional stability and traction while in the outdoors. With Men’s and Women’s offerings, you have a variety of sizes that we’d come to expect as well as unique colorways for each.
- Improved heel hold for a more precise and blister-free fit during long approaches
- Optimized outsole for confident climbing traction on the uphill and improved grip on the descent
- Stable underfoot platform to support heavy packs across uneven terrain
- Updated construction: Now available exclusively in leather, with a GORE-TEX option for weather protection
This launch reflects seven years of collaboration between Arc’teryx product teams, elite alpine guides, and everyday users; designed not just to keep up with the mountain, but to lead the way. It will be interesting to see preliminary reports once these shoes find themselves in the outdoors on some adventures.
