Product details

The Link GTX by AKU is a versatile hiking shoe that stands out for its combination of comfort, breathability, and precision. This waterproof approach shoe is ideal for moderate trekking tours and offers excellent performance on light terrain.

This ensures a pleasant foot climate, regardless of weather conditions. The Link GTX is equipped with the AKU AIR 8000 system, which significantly enhances the breathability of the upper material, further increasing wearing comfort. The Vibram Pepe sole not only offers durability but also exceptional grip and stability on various surfaces, making the shoe a reliable companion for outdoor activities.
