Arc'teryx Kopec Mid GTX Men's: Waterproof Protection and Secure Grip for Rough Trails 

• The Arc'teryx Kopec Mid GTX is a tough, lightweight hiking boot designed to keep your feet dry and secure on rough trails. It solves the problem of heavy, clunky footwear slowing you down on day hikes or multiday trips. 
• Move Faster with the 3D Molded Collar: The Ultralon collar and tongue shape perfectly to your ankle for a secure fit. This design gives you the freedom to move quickly over rocks and roots while keeping your ankle well supported. You get a comfortable wrap that protects your joint and stops trail debris from ruining your hike.
• Absorb Heavy Impacts with the Dual-Density Midsole: Hiking over rugged terrain can take a toll on your feet over time. This boot uses a special dual-density foam layer that cushions every single step you take. It provides lasting shock absorption and stability, so you can stay on your feet all day long on tough terrain.
• Protect Your Arches with the TPU Midfoot Shank: Sharp rocks and uneven trails can bruise the bottom of your feet. A tough TPU shank sits in the middle of the boot to protect your foot from below. It keeps the boot from twisting too much while adding almost no extra weight to your loadout.
• Block Out Water and Snow with GORE-TEX ePE Fabric: You never have to worry about cold and wet feet slowing you down. This protective layer seals out moisture completely while still letting hot air escape, so you do not sweat out. It gives you top-tier weather defense while maintaining a reduced carbon footprint.

Performance Footwear Layers for the Arc'teryx Kopec Mid GTX

• Synthetic Ultralightweight Mid Sock: This thin mountain-running sock aligns perfectly with your boot's fit to minimize friction during long hikes. Made with wicking fibers, it helps manage temperature and moisture while sealing out trail debris.
• Merino Wool Mid Sock: This option gives you targeted cushioning for long days on your feet. It uses a merino wool blend to naturally resist odors and adapt to varying conditions, working directly with your boots to keep your feet comfortable.
• Synthetic Low Cut Sock: This light and breathable trail running sock features targeted cushioning in the heel and toe to handle hard impacts. It works well for hot summer trails, thanks to mesh zones and performance yarns that keep your feet cool and dry.

Waterproof Maintenance & Care

• Arc’teryx NU Technical Detergent: You need this specific detergent to safely clean the technical fabrics and DWR coatings on your gear. Keeping the upper mesh clean removes stubborn mud and dirt that can block the GORE-TEX membrane and compromise your boots' breathability over time.
• Arc’teryx NU Durable Water Repellent Spray: Use this spray treatment to restore the water-shedding surface of your footwear after intense use. It ensures water continues to bead off the outside of the shoe quickly so the protective layers do not soak through or become heavy.

Arc'teryx Kopec Mid GTX: FAQs

Are the Arc'teryx Kopec Mid GTX boots true to size?

You should pick your normal shoe size for the best fit. The wide toe box gives you room to splay your toes naturally as you walk. If you want extra space for thick socks or have wider feet, consider sizing up by a half size.

How much do these boots weigh?

They are incredibly light for mid-height hiking boots. The design sheds every gram possible to keep you moving fast on the trail. A pair weighs just around 1.5 pounds, which prevents your legs from feeling heavy and tired during long walks.

Are the boots completely waterproof?

A special PFAS-free GORE-TEX layer sits inside the shoe to block out moisture. This protective fabric seals out water and snow while remaining breathable. Your feet will stay dry as long as you do not step in water deeper than the collar of the boot.

Do they have good ankle support?

The boot features a molded malleolus pad that protects your ankle from scrapes and impacts. The flexible 3D-molded collar wraps around your joint to provide support while still letting you move quickly and freely. Because the upper material is a soft CORDURA mesh, it will not feel as stiff or rigid as a heavy leather boot.

Do these hiking boots need to be broken in?

The flexible synthetic materials allow you to start hiking in them right out of the box. You will not have to walk around the house for weeks to soften them up. The dual-density midsole provides instant cushioning and lasting shock absorption for your trip.
