Updated But Not In A Good Way

They updated these but the old models were better. These don’t fit right and are too stiff. There was a lot I liked about the last model that had the white logo, but these feel like a step backwards.

Buena compra las estrene en una salida 20Km y 1000+-m y estupendas ya veremos como envejece pero tengo buenas sensaciones

Long Time Customer

What happened, I thought I was replacing my waterproof hiking boots. I wear them everyday for city hiking to work and back in San Francisco. I bought two pairs, because a switch off every day helps extend life of boots. These are very uncomfortable not near the padding of the old model. Feet and ankles and knees hurt after wearing them. The older models were almost a high top and went further up past ankle. Thought maybe these would at least break in, but they haven’t. I’m still using my old boots with very little tread left instead of these new boots. Because they are so uncomfortable and painful. I absolutely loved the old model, have owned at least twenty pair. (I burn through boots because I hike mostly on cement). Please bring back the old model. These are horrible.

Uncomfortable, Stiff, Not Waterproof.

Very disappointing. The shoe is extremely stiff and uncomfortable, even during a short walk. Breathability is also very poor; my feet felt hot and trapped while wearing them. More importantly, the shoe does not perform as advertised in wet conditions. During a 15-minute walk on a lightly snowy path, melted snow penetrated the toe box area on both shoes. By the end of the walk my toes and socks were soaked. For a product marketed as waterproof, this level of water penetration is unacceptable.

I Love Mine!

Love my Kopec Boot. It is both light and rugged. The waterproofing is subperb and the traction is great even on snowy/icy surfaces. My new favorite go-to shoe!

Hiking Shoe Approved

Perfect for hiking and very comfortable! True to size!

Love The Brand

I'm excited to have these as my 2026 hiking boots. Fingers crossed that Arc'teryx normal quality comes through in their first footwear venture. Love the fit and look. Currently saving them for less sloppy conditions.

Boa Compra

Confort y proteccion al agua atestiguadas...el agarre es perfecto, no son excesivamente calientes pero muy bien aisladas. La durabilidad espero contrastarla con el uso.

Durable And Lite !!

It’s only been a few weeks with these boots, but they are very well made, looks great, comfortable, waterproof and true to size. I may get another pair in low tops, also bright a pair for wife she’s like them as well.

Fantastic

Arc’teryx Kopec is an impressively versatile shoe that balances lightweight comfort with reliable durability. The grip inspires confidence on mixed terrain, while the breathable upper keeps feet cool all day. Fit is precise, cushioning responsive, and overall performance exceeds expectations for hiking and everyday use. It feels premium and dependable.

Great Build Quality, Inconsistent Sizing

Very impressed with the build quality. I’m glad to see cordura being incorporated into footwear. It is very abrasion resistant. However, as far as the sizing; I found it to be a bit inconsistent. The 10.5 is way too tight, and the 11 is far too big. For me, the 11 Fits Way better right out of the box. But as I break it in over a week, it has become a bit too sloppy. The 10.5 probably would have been better to break in for me personally.

Ottime Scarpe

Esteticamente possono essere migliorate, il colore sembra meglio in foto

Light And Comfy!

I bought these last minute before a trip to Grand Canyon and Sedona to replace a very nice pair of boots that are sadly too small. The Kopec’s fit like a glove with breathable for warm, arid climates and offered nice space in the toe box. I did not have to break these in, they were comfortable right out of the box and I put 24 + miles on them with not even the slightest issue or blister. They are impossibly lightweight, which are a joy to hike in. The traction on dry rock and for scrambling is great as is the lateral support. My only gripe is that the sole has a soft foam which did not hold up well to some rugged terrain. There was a divet in the side of the sole below the toe, which was disappointing. That said, I’d recommend these overall. Best boots I’ve used in a while and pleasure to have on your feet

Bad Heel Seem.

I'd love to give the shoe a five star. It's a very comfortable shoe throughout the only problem and the reason I get three stars is there is a seam that runs across the back between the Achilles and the heel. After Time walking in the shoes or hiking gives you blisters if they take the seam out. I would give a five star. And buy again.

Had To Return - Forefoot And Toe Box Were Cramped.

The toe box and forefoot on a size 11.5 were too small for me so I returned them. I have a pair of Arc'teryx NORVAN LD 3 shoes that are the same size and fit well. Otherwise it appears to be a nice shoe--thus the three stars. I'm debating on whether to order a size up.
