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)

 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.

Review: Arc'teryx Konseal FL GTX shoe - FeedTheHabit.com

The lighter cousin of the TX3, the TX2 is a lightweight approach shoe that stows easily. Enhanced support and sticky rubber keep you sure-footed in the mountains, while the one-piece knit uppers optimize drainage and breathability. C2 ComboCord loops around the heel platform to allow easy pairing and storage on a harness or in a pack.

Consumer Reports

Our favorite approach shoe is the La Sportiva TX2. It's very similar to the burlier TX4, but through our test period, we discovered that this shoe is much more than just a lighter version of the TX4. These shoes weigh a mere 20 ounces per pair, plus they have a unique elastic cord system to secure the shoes together into a compact package when clipped to a climbing harness. The breathable knit uppers kept our feet cool on long hikes, and the precise lacing system allows us to crank down the laces to the end of the toe for a snug and secure fit when the going gets technical. The toe has a low profile, and we could even use them in red camalot-sized cracks. 
These shoes aren't as supportive as the TX4s, so you'll want a more supportive model for multi-day expedition-sized trips. Our testers also observed the elastic band that holds the shoes together while clipped to your harness coming undone while climbing a chimney feature and lost a shoe. Lesson? Clip both shoes individually to your harness when climbing chimneys and offwidths so that you don't lose the most well-rounded approach shoes on the market.

OutdoorGearLab

The La Sportiva TX2 Evo is a fantastic upgrade to one of the lightest approach shoes on the market. This shoe climbs like a dream, thanks to its thin and sensitive sole, precise toe box fit, and rubber toe cap. These shoes are one step away from being declared full-blown climbing shoes. They are one of the lightest models on the market, and have a thoughtful elastic cord on each heel that can wrap around the nestled pair to create a tight package for hanging on the harness or stuffing into a pack for carrying up a multi-pitch route. If you climb in a venue where short approaches lead to long and difficult routes with tricky walk-off descents, these shoes are unbeatable.
Of course, many features were eliminated to produce such a lightweight shoe. The midsole contains very little padding, so long hikes aren't very comfortable in th TX2 Evo. The upper is a light knit fabric that doesn't provide much support, and this material is also susceptible to wear and tear. If you need a shoe for rugged approaches and lots of standing in aiders, these shoes aren't the right choice. But if you want to move light and fast, and need a shoe that can accompany you up big routes without weighing you down, these shoes are perfect.

I ordered another TX3 in 10.0 and feel more like a climbing shoe, now (tight, all around, but not painful).

I ordered the 10.5 (EU43.5), as most reviews seemed to say to half-size up if you were going to do a lot of trail and half-size down if you were going to do a lot of technical climbing.

I do the bulk of my climbing during the summer, so I was looking for the breathability of a mesh shoe.

Need Narrow Feet

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

2. Their laces are junk! After a day or two they started to wear and after 2 weeks they completely tore.

Great shoes, love them! But the laces are garbage!

Also, La Sportiva sizing is frustratingly inconsistent. I'm a 13 US street shoe, this shoe in a 47 (13 US) is both too short and too tight. Compared to a TX3 which fits just right in a 47, and a TC Pro which fits in a 45.5

But for just slightly more weight the TX3 was far more comfortable, is a bit stiffer and has more cushioning and a much better fit for hiking. I think that is a much better choice if you just want a single approach shoe. After trying both on I immediately knew the TX3 was the best choice for me.

Lightweight, but not that comfortable

  There isn't much difference between this and a casual climbing shoe besides cushioning.  The company is obviously a climbing shoe company but it was my mistake to think that their approach shoes are hiking shoes would be sized a little more generously.  The midfoot forefoot area design might only work for large feet. Like I'm thinking 10 and more

Leave it to the Italians to to make a climbing shoe advertised as a hiking shoe. Man these are small and tight. Really it's the trouble of what an approach shoe is. 

 But I'm not as sure designer.  I'm sure this shoe is great for short approaches and long technical scrambles. But I don't think these would ever break in in a comfortable way for me to trust on a moderate hike.  Unless you do technical scrambles every weekend or more I would avoid this shoe

  Enter the internet and online reviews and you come up with this guy.  But this has got to be the most narrow and small shoe for my size I have ever put on and I have small feet.
