Fast and light, nimble and secure, the Konseal FL 2 feels as agile as a running shoe while delivering the support, comfort and confidence required for technical approaches and long hikes under the load of a pack. A shoe made for shifting terrain, it utilizes a Vibram Megagrip outsole for a secure hold and a TPU chassis and raised sidewalls for increased stability. The fit is precise and the minimalist design reduces debris collection and easily transitions to more civilized landscapes.

- Footwear Width: Standard

Footwear Liner Construction
- 3D molded
- Ion Element 100% recycled EVA (closed cell) by Dynamic Foam (4.5mm)

Footwear Outsole Construction

 We do find that the BD shoe accommodates wide feet better than the Arc’teryx, although the Konseal offers more abrasion resistance with its ripstop mesh upper. All in all, the Mission LT an intriguing alternative to have on your radar, but the Konseal is the more proven design.

 5.8 oz. per pair for the men’s model), costs $10 less, and boasts a redesigned upper, retooled lug pattern, and new insole.

 per pair for the men’s model), costs $10 less, and boasts a redesigned upper, retooled lug pattern, and new insole.

 As we’ve come to expect in an approach shoe, the Konseal FL is stiffer than a hiking shoe or trail runner and lacks the cushioning underfoot that many hikers might be used to. In addition, you get a fairly narrow fit that doesn’t allow the forefoot much room to breathe or swell (more on this in "Fit and Sizing" below). On the other hand, the same features that detract from flex and cushion (a plastic midsole with raised sidewalls and firm EVA foam) do lend extra stability and protection, particularly on rocky, cross-country terrain. In the end, we wouldn’t recommend the Konseal FL as a dedicated hiker, but it’s a great match for off-trail scrambling and climbers who prioritize performance on rock over comfort on the trail

Switchback Travel | Arc’teryx Konseal FL Approach Shoe Review

 Hi, Katie here with Get Out There Magazine, this is my review of the Arc'teryx Conseal FL Approach Shoe. The conceals have lots of great features. My top three would definitely be Vibram soles, nice long lacing so you can get just the right tension and two grab loops to help you really get your foot in there. The conceals are super awesome, they're really grippy, these shoes are great, they'll totally get you to the top or the bottom of your climbing area

 These are a 7 and a half US but they are a 39 and a third European. So I got the 39 and a third thinking that that would fit me, I usually wear a 39 and I don't mind having a little extra room for my toes but my big toe on my big foot only comes up to right here, so I'm not really getting to take advantage of the little rubbery end of the toe and when I have been climbing in them, my feet do sort of slide forward and backward a little bit. I also found the back gave me a fair bit of pressure when I was hiking in them. Now it's not really their intended use so do take that with a grain of salt

 Also I think there's extra pressure because the sole is quite stiff and it's intended to be that way, of course, so that you can edge and smear and really make the most out of these shoes. Did I say yet that I love the color? Color's awesome. This grey-teal color goes with lots of things, it's really subtle so I'm a really big fan and they're just really sleek and sexy looking. I have no complaints about the shoe other than it just doesn't quite fit my foot so that's alright

Arc'teryx Konseal FL Shoes

Durability seems to have been one of the drivers in the design of the Konseal FL. I’ve found that the two main weak points on approach shoes are the laces and the sidewall in the neighborhood of the knuckle on the baby toe. When climbing and scrambling these two areas wear quickly and, in the case of the sidewall, can cause the premature demise of a great pair of shoes. The Konseal FL’s have specific design features aimed directly at these two weaknesses

 The main difference is found in the width at the ball of the foot where the raised perimeter sidewalls are a bit ridged on my medium width feet. This gives the shoes a feel more akin to a light mountaineering boot than a shoe, especially along the forefoot. However, after a few days or a week they break-in and the resulting fit is quite comfortable and incredibly secure with absolutely no heal movement.

The high quality rubber and variable tread pattern on the Konseal FL’s create a very secure feeling shoe on everything from rock slabs to steep muddy trails.

The design of the to-the-toe laces along with the padded tongue allow the Konseal FL’s an incredibly adaptable fit: a very tight performance fit for climbing and technical scrambling to a loose fit for around town or at the crag. Neither set-up producing any pressure points or issues.

 A little elevated in the heel but comfortable for a dash or spring up the stairs. Stylish, waterproof, rugged.

Consumer Reports

The La Sportiva Boulder X delivers for yet another season, letting you play long and hard in the mountains for the least amount of cash. This affordable shoe climbs well, offers support for miles of hiking and scrambling, and features durable leather uppers that stay with you for the long haul. The shoe's lacing system is similar to the La Sportiva Mythos climbing shoe, extending around the ankle collar to help ensure secure footing for miles of hiking or pitch after pitch of jugging. 
This shoe is heavy and bulky, so it's far from our first choice for clipping to a harness for light and fast missions. Beyond that caveat, the Boulder X has wide appeal at a lower price point, and we're big fans.

Best Approach Shoes of 2022 - GearLab

When thought of as a hiking or trekking shoe this category wouldn’t matter that much, but as an approach shoe we must consider how pack-able the shoes are when it’s time to don more technical rock climbing shoes and in this case these shoes are quite heavy and bulky. While that extra weight equals more support and durability there is a definite trade off if you need to clip these to the back of your harness or stuff them into a small climbing pack.

 Because of this added weight and stiffness these would make a great early Spring/Summer alpine approach shoe if you need to occasionally cross snowfields. They will be able to edge in Spring snow better than lighter weight models and would match well with some Kahtoola Microspikes when added traction is needed.

Gear Review- LaSportiva Boulder X Approach Shoes (and Giveaway!)

Comfort is most important. Comfortable boots will let you enjoy your hikes and get you out there more often. Try on several brands, styles, and models. As for brands, I would recommend LA Sportiva,  Merrell, Keen, Salomon,  Vasque, and Asolo

I am a complete beginner. I have done a few hikes with running shoes. It's Black Friday so I suppose this might be a good time for getting some hiking shoes. Please suggest me something available in the US.

Suggestions for hiking boots

 I tried Lowa this round. So I will see how many years they last. The Swiss swear by La Sportiva for its resoling.

Discovered that I had $240 in REI dividends today, so my Salomon 4D 3 GTX and Darn Tough merino wool socks came out to just $9!!! Happy deal hunting everyone!

 So really nice lacing system with the Boulder X, moving down to the middle of the shoe we've got a board lasted construction, so that gives the shoe a lot of really good stiffness and torsional rigidity. So it's going to maintain its edging power and climbing precision when you're on those more technical climbs. We do have a micro pore, EBA midsole. So it's a really high density, really thick midsole, but it retains a really light weight

 So that's going to offer really good protection for those steep rocky climbs or possible 5th class, climbing so really nice extra grip extra durability, all the way around. With that rubber toe Rand, we do have a really unique lacing system, with the shoe kind of what they've incorporated into some of their climbing shoes with La Sportiva. It'S got kind of that methis lacing system. That goes all the way back around behind the heel

 It is a little water resistant, although not fully waterproof, so it will shed some light precip. But again it's not a fully waterproof shoe. So keep that in mind we do have a mesh lined rear section, so the back half of it has a really nice mesh lining adds a lot of padding and comfort to the shoe and the tongue of the shoe is also mesh lined and padded. So again you get really nice comfort with the boulder X in that back half, where your heel and and the top of your foot is, we do have a fully wrapped rubber toe ram

 We do have an Eevee, a sock, liner or insole, and that's really resilient and comfortable, so it rebounds nicely to provide optimum comfort. So nice insult and a nice midsole in the shoe here, moving down to the outsole we've got a durable but soft and grippy Vibram outsole, it's great for those smoother ascents or those really technical, Rock scrambles. It'S going to give you really good smearing power with its low profile lugs, you get a lot of surface contact there, so really nice grip and it's a little softer than some of the other Vibram rubbers. So again, that's going to really enhance the grip that you get from the boulder X

La Sportiva Men's Boulder X Approach Shoes

While we love Sportive products in general these shoes run small and we waited too long to return this pair. So we had to modify the back with a slice down the heel section.

these seem to run small

 Size UP 1/2 to 1 full size!!!! I’m using as an approach/ canyon shoe. I Wear a 11.5, ended up with a 12.5

Great shoe, size up.
