Arc'teryx Kopec GTX Shoe

Go Fast. Stay Dry. Move Smart.

The Kopec GTX is built for the modern-day mountain mover- lightweight, waterproof, and ready to chew up terrain from dawn patrol to multiday recon. Whether you're pushing through mud, scrambling slick rock, or ghosting up a soggy ridgeline, this boot packs the comfort of a trail runner with the tactical edge of a purpose-built hiking platform.

Designed with a PFAS-free GORE-TEX ePE membrane, the Kopec keeps water out and breathability high- without the environmental baggage. A CORDURA® mesh upper adds durability without dragging you down, while the roomy toe box gives your feet room to splay naturally on long hauls. The dual-density midsole provides balanced cushioning and support, reinforced with a TPU midfoot shank for underfoot protection and lateral control.

Underneath, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole with LITEBASE tech gives you aggressive traction without the weight penalty. Add in asymmetrical TPU toe protection, a locked-in heel counter, and an extended lacing system with metal eyelets, and you've got a boot that stays tight, flexes right, and performs under pressure.

Why We Love It

Because it nails the trifecta: lightweight, locked-in, and weatherproof. The Kopec GTX handles like a fast hiker but hits harder than most boots in its weight class. It’s the kind of footwear that makes you forget you're wearing any, until it saves your step on slick ground.
