FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious mountain climbing?
The Konseal is designed as a hybrid low-profile sneaker; while stable for hiking and light trekking, it is not a technical climbing shoe.
How should I clean the Gore-Tex membrane?
Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the inside of the shoe if possible to speed up drying time.
Can I use these in the snow?
The waterproof membrane provides protection against light snow, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard adult UK sizing, though the low-profile design may feel more snug than traditional bulky hiking boots.
Is the material machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the Gore-Tex technology. Hand washing is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly and check if the Gore-Tex membrane is clean; buildup of salt or dirt can inhibit breathability and waterproofing.
General discomfort or pressure points
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room in the forefoot or verify you are using the correct size; consider aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Arc'teryx Konseal trainers, keep the following tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. Use lukewarm water and mild soap for deeper cleaning; avoid harsh detergents that may degrade the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically treat the outer fabric with a water-repellent spray to maintain the exterior's shedding capabilities.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the membrane.
