A waterproof, breathable mid-height women's hiking shoe for stable-yet-agile fast and light travel on shifting terrain
The Arc’teryx women’s Kopec Mid GTX is Agile and light, supportive and comfortable – it’s the all-season hiker for confident travel on varied terrain. Made for day hikes and minimalist overnight treks, its PFAS-free GORE-TEX protection seals out weather, but still lets your foot breathe free. The CORDURA mesh upper is durable and light. Your foot protection and stability is expertly-balanced with phenomenal lightness and dexterity, while the Vibram Megagrip outsole delivers a secure grip in conjunction with the custom lug pattern.
A waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX ePE membrane keeps your feet dry, both from the rain (via its waterproofness), and from your own sweat (via its breathability). And with its new ePE construction, the membrane is now free of forever chemicals (PFC/PFAS). Additionally, the upper is made from durable, breathable, quick-drying CORDURA mesh, which enhances both moisture-management and longevity.
The outsole uses Vibram MEGAGRIP with LITEBASE technology, to ensure a fantastic, sticky grip on a huge range of different surface types - and remaining as lightweight as possible. Add to this the advanced lug geometry that sheds mud and enhances grip, and your surefootedness is ensured.
The design synthesizes two priorities, the first of which is keeping your feet supported and protected. This is accomplished via the molded collar and tongue, the dual-density midsole, the TPU midfoot shank, the molded malleolus pad, the integrated webbing/metal eyelet lacing system, and the molded TPU toe cap and heel counter.
The second priority is still allowing your feet to feel agile, dexterous, and free. Thanks to the molded collar and tongue’s articulated Ultralon 3D design, and the roomy toe box that accommodates your natural splay, this is delivered in spades.
