  • The iconic garment woman’s dragon tail. Lt gore-tex approach shoes are ready for. Whatever you have in store they’re versatile enough for hiking, but they perform really well when scrambling on. Rocks to approach your climb let’s start. With the bottom the point of contact with the ground garma created a shoe that will work well. On technical rock mixed terrain approaches scrambling and even light. Hiking so the outsole is really meant to. Do it all it’s made of tried-and-true vibram it’s thinki enough for rock but. It’s durable enough for long miles so it won’t break down as quickly as some. Other types of softer sticky rubber that. You might find on approach shoes or even climbing shoes back here you’ve got a. Blocked heel strike area and the same. Blocking on the medial forefoot that’s. For edging so all the while they give you a lug pattern in between that’s perfect for hiking on those dirt trails. You’re sure to encounter some rocks and. Some loose gravel so these lugs are. Going to keep you on the trail and make sure that you’re sure-footed you can see three different colors in the mid sole. Grey yellow and red and that’s not just. For look the grey part is a medium. Density so that gives cushioning and comfort and you can see it goes all the way around to the other side now the yellow part in the back is firmer so. That gives more stability where you need it in the heel and then the red part up front is densest and the most. Durable this is kind of what i call the. Climbing zone of the shoe and you’re going to want densest material up. There mixed with what you have on the. Outsold the red dense part of the. Midsole really gives support you don’t. Want your toes to flex too much and. That’s going to give all the support you need for edging as you approach your climb on top of all of that you do have. A soft footbed it’s removable. Just take it out here and show it. Definitely provides a lot of cushioning there’s denser material here than. I’ve seen on some other removable. Footed and i think what they tried to do is give a nice soft place for your feet to land be kind of you have such a. Rigid mid sole on those long miles those. Heights this is going to keep you a little bit more comfortable the climbing. Style lacing is great for dialing in the. Tightness you prefer over different parts of your approach so leave them a little bit looser when you start hiking. But then when the hike starts to get more technical you can adjust those laces all the way down to the toes you. Can see the laces are kind of asymmetrical here and garmin actually built this entire shoe to mimic the. Natural asymmetry of your foot it’s. Called they’re anatomically directed design or abd this really cuts down on. Open space in the shoe that could lead to rubbing or blisters that mixed with. The lacing and this heel lock in the. Back will actually ensure a really good snug fit all day long also so wrap. Around so rand here in the front reduces the impact of kick rocks and roots and. Really protects those toes this is a gore-tex shoe as the name suggests so. It’s going to keep out water so long as. That water doesn’t come up over the top of the shoe the outsole in general is. Constructed of a few different materials but overall it’s a really durable suede. That suede is going to last a long time. When you’re encountering sharp rocks going to show some wear and tear and. That’s why they’re using such a durable material they’ve got overlays here but. Then they have some other kind of textile materials synthetic materials. Around the heel that you can really snug in and then again you have that rand because all the way around so that protects the suede even more and you’ve. Got the same material in the back overall the fit is pretty narrow these. Are approach shoes climbing style shoes. So they do want to give you a nice snug fit especially up here in the toe box. Again you can adjust the lacing for more. Comfort but if you’re not used to approach style or climbing style shoes if you’re just used to hiking shoes they’re going to seem pretty narrow but. They’re kind of meant to do that they’re meant to be able to snug down and give you a tight fit all throughout the shoe with the features here you’re getting a.

Their only downfall just like all mountaineering boots is that the break-in time is pretty rough i would give it about 75 miles before they get really comfortable but once that break-in period is passed you’ll be reaching for these just about every day they’ve performed really well for me i would highly recommend them head on over to our website for my full written review thanks for watching it’s been andrew with outdoor gear tv get your gear and get outside.

    Hi katie here is get out their magazine. This is my review of the arc’teryx conseal fl approach shoe the conseils. Have lots of great features my top three. Would definitely be vibram soles nice. Long lacing so you can get just the. Right tension and to grab loops to help. You really get your foot in there the. Con seals are super awesome they’re really grippy issues are great they’ll. Totally get you to the top or the bottom of your climbing area I’ve been rock hopping climbing and even. Hiking in these shoes and overall. They’re really awesome shoes they’re. Lightweight they’re super grippy, and they’re you know decently comfortable on your foot you’re nice and lined on the inside for me i. Find these shoes fit really narrow so. They are they’re cut pretty. Narrow and i have a very wide foot so i. Am I finding them to be a little bit pinchy right here at the widest point. And i also found the sizing to be like. Totally out of whack with most other shoe companies for example i usually wear a 39 and that would equate too about. An eighth or an eight and a half these are a seven and a half us, but they are a. 39 and a third european so i got the 39. 1/3 thinking that would fit me i usually wear a 39 and i don’t mind having a little extra room for my toes but my big toe on my big foot only comes. Up to right here so I’m not really. Getting to take advantage of the little rubbery end of the toe and when i. Have been climbing in them they my feet. To sort of slide forward and backward a little bit i also found the back gave me. A fair bit of pressure when i was taking in them it’s not really their intended use so do. Take that with a grain of salt also i think there’s extra pressure because the soul is quite stiff and it’s intended. To be that way of course so that you can edge and smear and you know really make. The most out of these shoes. Did i say yet that i love the color is awesome it’s like great teal color goes with lots of things it’s really subtle so I’m a really big fan, and they’re just really like sleek and sexy looking so i have no. Complaint about shoe oh that it just. Doesn’t quite fit my foot so that’s all. Right there’s lots of brands and styles out there so these shoes are awesome and. If they fit your feet you’re probably gonna love them forget out their magazine I’m katie and that was my review of the arc’teryx concealed approach shoes for more info about these.

  • The iconic garment woman’s dragon tail. Lt gore-tex approach shoes are ready for. Whatever you have in store they’re versatile enough for hiking, but they perform really well when scrambling on. Rocks to approach your climb let’s start. With the bottom the point of contact with the ground garma created a shoe that will work well. On technical rock mixed terrain approaches scrambling and even light. Hiking so the outsole is really meant to. Do it all it’s made of tried-and-true vibram it’s thinki enough for rock but. It’s durable enough for long miles so it won’t break down as quickly as some. Other types of softer sticky rubber that. You might find on approach shoes or even climbing shoes back here you’ve got a. Blocked heel strike area and the same. Blocking on the medial forefoot that’s. For edging so all the while they give you a lug pattern in between that’s perfect for hiking on those dirt trails. You’re sure to encounter some rocks and. Some loose gravel so these lugs are. Going to keep you on the trail and make sure that you’re sure-footed you can see three different colors in the mid sole. Grey yellow and red and that’s not just. For look the grey part is a medium. Density so that gives cushioning and comfort and you can see it goes all the way around to the other side now the yellow part in the back is firmer so. That gives more stability where you need it in the heel and then the red part up front is densest and the most. Durable this is kind of what i call the. Climbing zone of the shoe and you’re going to want densest material up. There mixed with what you have on the. Outsold the red dense part of the. Midsole really gives support you don’t. Want your toes to flex too much and. That’s going to give all the support you need for edging as you approach your climb on top of all of that you do have. A soft footbed it’s removable. Just take it out here and show it. Definitely provides a lot of cushioning there’s denser material here than. I’ve seen on some other removable. Footed and i think what they tried to do is give a nice soft place for your feet to land be kind of you have such a. Rigid mid sole on those long miles those. Heights this is going to keep you a little bit more comfortable the climbing. Style lacing is great for dialing in the. Tightness you prefer over different parts of your approach so leave them a little bit looser when you start hiking. But then when the hike starts to get more technical you can adjust those laces all the way down to the toes you. Can see the laces are kind of asymmetrical here and garmin actually built this entire shoe to mimic the. Natural asymmetry of your foot it’s. Called they’re anatomically directed design or abd this really cuts down on. Open space in the shoe that could lead to rubbing or blisters that mixed with. The lacing and this heel lock in the. Back will actually ensure a really good snug fit all day long also so wrap. Around so rand here in the front reduces the impact of kick rocks and roots and. Really protects those toes this is a gore-tex shoe as the name suggests so. It’s going to keep out water so long as. That water doesn’t come up over the top of the shoe the outsole in general is. Constructed of a few different materials but overall it’s a really durable suede. That suede is going to last a long time. When you’re encountering sharp rocks going to show some wear and tear and. That’s why they’re using such a durable material they’ve got overlays here but. Then they have some other kind of textile materials synthetic materials. Around the heel that you can really snug in and then again you have that rand because all the way around so that protects the suede even more and you’ve. Got the same material in the back overall the fit is pretty narrow these. Are approach shoes climbing style shoes. So they do want to give you a nice snug fit especially up here in the toe box. Again you can adjust the lacing for more. Comfort but if you’re not used to approach style or climbing style shoes if you’re just used to hiking shoes they’re going to seem pretty narrow but. They’re kind of meant to do that they’re meant to be able to snug down and give you a tight fit all throughout the shoe with the features here you’re getting a. Durable reliable shoe for all different. Types of turing’s there’s a garment women dragon tail lp gore-tex shoes. Thanks for watching if you have.
