Arc’teryx Konseal FL 2 Shoe Review 2023

For climbers, the main plus is the stiffened midsole and climbing-specific toe profile. Although the Konseal FL 2 isn’t super narrow in fit they do have a precision feel to them, the fit can be adjusted using the climbing shoe style lacing and the Vibram Megagrip sole offers high friction on rocky terrain; which further places them in the approach shoe category. Arc’teryx has designed the shoe for fast and light rocky Alpine terrain and I would agree, that they will excel in these situations. I am usually a size UK8 in approach shoes and I would say that the Konseal 2 is true to size, I had a little room in the tow box but that just means I can wear thicker socks if I’m enjoying a mountain day.
