Chaussure mi-montante Kopec GTX Homme

All other items I have ever purchased from Arcteryx have been top quality in performance and durability. I was excited about this boot but unfortunately it fell well short. Positives First. 1. The shoe is constructed beautifully with quality materials. 4. Claims department was accommodating by issuing a credit for the returned product. Now for the negatives: 1. The fit is very narrow through the mid and forefoot. I do not have a wide foot or wear an extra wide shoe, boot or even hockey skate but found this shoe extremely uncomfortable over time. The shoe was even painful to wear while driving! 2. The Vibram sole and tread pattern was terrible in cold wet conditions. Early winter conditions with minimal snow in the east Kootenay region was way to much for this shoe to handle. Wet conditions and temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius on various terrain proved to be treacherous in this shoe while easy to navigate the same terrain in regular vans old schools. 3. Even walking through parking lots and sidewalks on wet or in less than 1cm of snow caused my foot and socks to become soaked. This was unexpected and uncalled for in a gore-tex mid boot! 4. Staff at Chinook Atcteryx in Calgary was unhelpful, rude, and unprofessional in my discussion regarding the quality of the product. Particularly the manager or lead who I dealt with. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me.

Fit is way smaller. Won't get bigger sizes back in stock. Toes are crammed up at the top and they are quite narrow. No chance of wearing thicker socks. Definitely buy a size or two bigger than what you actually are.

I just got a pair of these. I have feet that are slightly wider at the toes, with a long big toe so the toe box is perfect, I have narrow ankles/heel and a low volume foot so the fact they shape in snugly around the ankle is also great for me (sometimes referred to as a 'wide fan' in terms of shape, I am a female but tall, with long feet, so destined to wear men's boots). They wont be right for everyone, but its great to see a much wider diversity of boot shape than 20/5 years ago - when I had to wear three pairs of socks folded down to fill the ankle space whilst my toes were crushed by the tapered end that made no effort to accommodate a big toe. Thank you arc'teryx for providing foot shaped foot wear, that accommodates toes and don't assume we all have fat ankles. My left foot is aware of the tongue seam though so that could be improved.

It fulfills its promises of being waterproof, comfortable, and light. I just tried this pair on today, and my first impression was excellent. I have the black/void edition, and it looks great. The only thing I noticed was that the shoe laces were easily untied, so tie them twice to ensure they are secure.

it is great. very comfortable and nice looking. I love it!

From last 5 years I use only shoes ARC'TERYX AERIOS FL 2 MID GTX. This time I order Kopec Mid GTX and I'm so happy. The shoe is a bit different than Aerios fl 2 but for me better. Arcteryx is my favourite company and I stay with Arcteryx definitely.

After owning these boots for a few months I feel I can give an honest review. Overall the look and fit of these boots is amazing. Sturdy materials, nice locking with the laces, secure mid foot, cradles the heel nicely, plenty of room in the toe & they look like no other boot out there. These boots are so much better for me than the Aerios. I really wanted to give them a 5 star review but… they’re not waterproof. Water resistant maybe but no way waterproof. I had my doubts on a few outings but the last couple of weeks has seen me returning from walks with soaked feet with the majority of it coming through the forefront of the boots. I’ve looked after the boots in accordance with instructions from Arc’teryx & after a few months wear & the start of winter in Wales this is disappointing.

I’m extremely disappointed with the Kopec Mid GTX boots from Arc'teryx. These boots are, without a doubt, the worst pair of shoes I’ve ever owned, not just from Arc'teryx, but from any brand. The fit is incredibly awkward—no matter how I adjusted them, they never felt right. In fact, they were the first shoes in my life that caused me so much discomfort I had to take them off midday to give my feet a break. The pain in my forefoot was unbearable after just a few hours of wear, making it impossible to continue using them. I’ve never experienced such poor fit and discomfort in a pair of boots before. Unfortunately, I had to return them as they simply weren’t wearable. For a brand known for quality, I expected much better. These boots were a major letdown and I would not recommend them to anyone.

The Kopec Mid GTX Boot is true to size, and the roomy toe box fits perfectly (I’m usually a US 11). Love the premium feel and materials, especially the Gore-Tex Invisible Fit, which handles Vancouver’s wet, cold weather like a champ. The easy on/off design is a big plus, but there’s a bit too much space between the tongue and collar. Would’ve loved a lace garage on the tongue area too. Overall, it’s a solid boot with a few small tweaks needed!

I own two of the older Aerios mid-height boots and these are on par with those. Build quality seems good to me, no issues with these or their predecessors. The fit is spot on, I am a uk 9 and these are to size. The toe-box is one noticeable thing that differs from previous incarnations, and it really is a personal thing. I have 101 mm wide feet, and the toe is noticeably roomier and the sole more flared.. .in fact, it is like looking down on a Hoka. This would deter me from using it on anything steep and scrambly, and I do not think they are as good for this use as the older Aerios (for edging anyway). But for walking, perfect. These are stiff enough to take a modern hybrid walking crampon, but they will not be anywhere near as warm as the all-round Acrux etc. The ankle cuff is noticeable. I think this is due to the padding being more internal than balanced between that and the outer surface, but I can feel it. This is a tiny bit distracting, but is personal I expect and in no way irritating. The sole has a totally different direction of heel grip. The edges favor downhill traction over uphill; which for frozen ground is a considerable advantage over the older Aerious. I expected to slip a little on uphill mud and loose surface, but don't... so it is performing very well indeed. This will also prolong sole life and reduce resistance in forward motion. I really like it.

So far so good, have about 40km on them already and I won’t be stopping anytime soon. Very comfortable, foot doesn’t slide in the shoe, feels like it’s a part of my foot. Very light weight, great grip and so far very durable. I did have a slight concern when they got wet, seemed the outer material stayed wet for a long time after but the inside seemed dry to the touch.

Very comfortable and a great looking boot but unfortunately a day of exploring in the rain left me with wet feet. There seemed to be an issue with the waterproof coating as the canvas was soaked through across the top and sides. Disappointing, but possibly an early batch issue with the canvas/rune colorway. The staff at Arcteryx were great and provided a full refund, mentioning that mine were the second pair that day to be returned for the same reason. Hopefully the issue can be resolved because otherwise they were great.

Super compact shoe with good fit. I like the easy acsess very much. Its perfect for autumn hikes and also for communting in winter.

So far these are excellent - lots of room in the toe box (coming from 5+ years hiking in Altra's). Decided to give these a go. Have only dog walked/trail hiked in these for about 100 km so far but nothing bad to report. Quality and build are excellent and the orange is awesome. Would reco and buy again.

Unfortunately, as so often in recent years, this shoe is rather uncomfortable, with moderate lacing and almost no cushioning. I used to love Arcteryx shoes, but for the last three years the quality of the shoes has been terrible. It started with replacing the ortholite insole with a hard insole that has no cushioning and feels like a piece of cardboard. The shoes have become stiff, provide little support and feel unsafe when hiking and on easy ascents. I keep trying out Arc shoes, including this one, but the experience is always the same.

pretty good- comfortable fit and look great— only issue for me is the mediocre ankle support and the slight heel slipage that accompanies it. i wish they’d improve their lacing structure to allow for a more snug fit around the top of the shoe.
